Can Azilsartan alleviate hypertension in those who have kidney problems?
Hi doctor,
A few months ago, my elder brother was diagnosed with renal insufficiency, and his creatinine level was 7 at that time. After receiving treatment from the hospital, his creatinine level has reduced to 2.1 in the past few months. However, the major concern is that he continues to experience very high blood pressure, for example, 210/114 today, despite taking Arkamin 200 and Cilacar. We are considering if other drugs, like those from the Azilsartan group, may be suitable for him, as suggested by our nephrologist. But we want to stabilize his blood pressure; otherwise, in the coming days, it will affect his heart and may lead to LVH. Please guide me.
