High blood pressure meds are notorious for affecting kidney function.
I am on my third medication - at MY request - since I noticed my gfr (glomerular filtration rate) dropping every 6 months. My doctor was ‘not concerned’ - but I certainly was.
The function improved greatly after getting off the first two; now on Norvasc…we’ll see.

I take Diltiazem, Losartan and Metoprolol twice a day for high blood pressure (Due to Zytiga). All my blood tests are normal and really don’t change from month to month. Been on them for over 4 years.

I guess the right drugs make a difference. The question is what are the right drugs, it must vary depending on a person’s medical makeup.
