Dean,
Thank you for your experienced reply.
My red blood cell count has been down and other kidney indices have been
less than desirable over the past year. My urine protein has been ok but
kidney disease has claimed my mom and my grandfather on her side. So
considering my family history of kidney failure and my last three blood
tests I've become greatly concerned about the health of my kidneys.
For the past 11 years I've been taking Zestril and have been wanting to
speak with my doctor about a bp med that is designed more for helping my
kidneys.
Again, thank you,
Rick
