Urologist,  's  Response
Hello Imtiaz and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
As mentioned by you,H.T(high B.P.),has caused changes in your kidney function( low GFR).High uric acid is found commonly in such cases.
Now your B.P. has to be controlled,with improvement in kidney function.
If kidney function doesn't improve with medicines,(lowering of creatinine),then nephrologist may advise biopsy and hemodialysis.
The medicines for control of kidney function and high B.P., will be changed.
Send me reports,as a direct question, if you want my expert opinion.
