Hello l0lag0lag0b3, thank you for your input.
I do want to get off of the beta blocker also( breathing issues). Have to talk with nephrologist for an ace or arb, always tolerated those meds

Hello Bobinnevada

here are my views on reading your msg.

Typically Beta blocker is prescribed by a cardiologist (as it is essentially Heart Centric). also Beta beta blockers cannot be suddenly stopped you have phase them under the supervision of a cardiologist.

Best suggestion keep you cardiologist in the loop for the either ARB or CCB. from what I know ARBs have minimum side effect compared to ACE.

Also just my extra 2C, if you recipient kidney is clean (not damaged or does not have any other issues (cysts) on the kidney surface) then ARB losartan is more desirable as they will not damage the nephrons as they have been around a very long time. I am not a Doctor !! but this is what is I noted reading case studies
Good Luck
