Brief Answer:
All the ARB damage renal function. ..
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Unfortunately for you all the ARB has as a side effect of creatinine increase and BUN.
But you can continue using Diovan till the creatinine levels reach 3.
If you were my patient I would continue Diovan and closely monitor your renal function every month (creatinine and BUN).
Hope this was of help!
