BP control plays an important role in protecting our kidneys. So as a transplant recipient it is important to monitor and/or treat. I do take BP meds and have a home monitor that I record my readings regularly.

@rosemarya I never really thought about BP affecting kidneys. I only thought it about affecting my heart. If I do need to start taking it I will tell him I want to wait until after our trip to Denver. I would hate to be there and discover that it did not agree with me in some way as lisinopril did.

I have new, since my transplant, home bp monitor that has Bluetooth so all of my readings are transferred to my phone. That makes it easy to share with the doctors.
