Ginger, my chronic kidney disease was caused by hypertension. I was prescribed amlodipine and metoprolol. I have taken the amlodipine ever since. I had to stop the metoprolol, because of the drugging affect and preventing me from working. I was diagnosed by an excellent nephrologist at the Mayo Clinic and have been under that and other Mayo care ever since. In my view, they are the best medical people in the world.

@lagrange5 It never ceases to amaze me how underplayed the kidney disease connection to high blood pressure is handled by doctors! That and diabetes seem to be the big players for chronic kidney disease. My husband had high blood pressure, took meds for almost 10 years before it was too much for his kidneys, and he started dialysis. Transplanted almost 4 years ago now, he says he would have made more significant changes earlier if he had known how critical the situation.
