Great video.
My mom has HBP and CKD 3B. I'm trying to find out the need for 3 different BP medications. Her primary doctor prescribed Amlodipine and Hydralazine. When mom found a nephrolgist, he prescribed Valsartan, after a few visits with him (her BP happened to be high those times... white coat maybe?). He prescribed the medication without knowing what other meds she was taking. After him telling us(and my reading) that it'll also help her kidneys, we didn't question it.
She's now taking Hydralazine 3 times per day, along with Valsartan and Amlodipine for BP, Levothyroxine and low dose aspirin.

I think that the BP meds are too much.

Thank you Doc. I am less focused on the EGFR since there is no proteinuria. Most people won’t be so hung up and fearful of that egfr after hearing you.

Good evening Dr. Ro and James. Great to see you. How does vitamin B 12 effect your kidneys

[lydiaasante]

My brother just got diagnosed with stage 3 CKD, he is on Amlodipine 10mg, is this enough? His BP is now very much under control though
My second question is l heard you talk about the you not being able to do the ultrasound for the cough, why? People with CKD should not do ultrasounds?
And the third question is l heard CKD patients should not take cough syrup medications, is that right? and if it is what then can they take for cough? Please answer all three, my brother is in Africa and l am educating myself to help him. Thank you.
