Stage 4... I was taken off lisinporil about 8 months ago by my nep. I didn’t see much improvements in my labs after stopping, but, apparently it isn’t a good drug for kidneys.. My last lab (10/18)Crea 1.85, GFR 26.87. Improved a little after starting renal diet (9/18 Crea 1.96, GFR 25)...I go back 12/26 so I’m praying my diet changes will at least hold me at this level....my NA, K, P, Glucose & calcium were all within boundaries. Most were right in middle...dang Creatinine and GFR my issues. My GP had to increase my beta blocker because my BP just wouldn’t go down. I’m still “feeling” problems with my heart so, we will adddress when I see him. I’m concerned I’ll hv a darn heart attach before my kidneys fail...after reading, I know that’s like a 90% chance. Good luck and let’s keep posting....thank you!

@sissieann Hello.I've had CKD for 8 years, 4 years on Hemodialysis then a kidney transplant 4 years ago. At present I too am at stage 4, Crea 2.67 eGFR 20. So I'm not a good advertisement for Ramipril, it being one of the 3 meds I take for BP but Ramipril is supposed to be safer than lisinporil. My BP is good though.

@sissieann Asked my neph about Lisinopril, she said stay on it for now even though ACE inhibitors aren't kidney-friendly. When I'm feeling better I want to explore alternatives. Cr was 1. 4 in hospital this Dec, before that it was 1.41 in August, same value in Nov. @marvinjsturing, Down 1/100th of a point isn't exactly the progress I had hoped for. I guess some fluctuation in cr is normal, or so I'm told.
