Your current blood pressure medication, Olmesar (olmesartan), is actually one of the best treatments we have to protect your kidneys. It helps lower blood pressure while actively reducing protein in the urine. A creatinine of 1.4 is only slightly elevated, and it is very common to monitor this. You likely do not need to start a new medication right now, as your current treatment is already working to shield your kidneys. Please share these results with your doctor, who will likely monitor your blood work regularly to ensure your kidneys remain stable.
