Hello
Thanks for choosing HCM. As he is having hypertension there will be effect in his kidneys in which the high Bp will damage the function of the kidneys. Please have regular serum creatinine test done and if there is any increase in that you consult a nephrologist to start the treatment. The most important treatment for him is to maintain his bp.
Thanks
