Hello,
Acute renal insufficiency means your kidneys are unable to filter out waste products from your body suddenly. Losartan is given to slow down kidney damage in patients with hypertension & DM. Atenolol is a beta blocker used to treat hypertension. You have not mentioned any past medical history here. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a Urologist / GP.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
