[QUOTE="suejat, post: 335569, member: 46714"] I'm hoping that one of you guys can give me some reassurance. I've just been referred to a nephrologist as the protein levels in my urine have risen over the last couple of tests. As far as I know my GFR is above 60 (I live in Spain, and unless it goes below 60 you don't get a number)--- the last but one was ok anyway. My blood pressure is normal, unless I am in the doctors surgery where it goes sky high. The problem I have is that I am allergic to ACE inhibitors. ARB's have no effect on me. My A1c has always been under 7%. It used to be in the normal range until a well meaning doctor decided I should take a diuretic. From then on it has risen steadily, regardless of what I do. Meds have gone up from 2.5mg glybenclamide (I'm also allergic to metformin) to 10mg daily. Although I have symptoms much the same as cystitis no other secondary problems have become apparent-- no nerve or retina abnormalities. I don't know when my appt. with the specialist will come through, so any help/reasurance would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
