Lisinopril vs.m..

[Bet117]

Forgive me, someone posted that they had an issue with Lisinopril

and Proteinuria and was switched to a drug beginning with the letter M..

Would you be good enough to re-post it.

I am on Lisinopril 20 mg and have had rising protein.

My common denominators of new drugs have been Arovastatin and Lisinopril.

I insisted that my endocrinologist remove me from that statin.

I would like some thoughts to discuss with my nephrologist in February and my new GP in a few weeks.

Thanks for responding!

Hi Bet

It wasn't me that posted but my mum takes metoprolol for her high blood pressure. She hasn't had any issue and has yearly check ups done. It was found last year she has a smaller left kidney with scarring when trying to be my donor. The drug metoprolol doesn't cause her any problems

Thanks, Charlene!

I take the Lisinopril to slow up the protein spilling. Boston is conservative with me as I have low to low normal BP.

My protein spilling continues to rise and I eat minimal plant protein. My nephrologist raised my dosage in November and will see me for my three month monitor in February.

I was wondering if the Lisinopril may not be agreeing with me and seeking alternatives to discuss with both my nephrologist and new GP when I see her next week.

Your support is so appreciated!

Feel good and keep in touch!

Lisinopril gave me a bad cough, switched to Diovan

Said Diovan bad for kidneys
