[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1700040, member: 28912"] I know your post is about the care you received, but what jumps out at me are the test results. What time of day do you take the Valsartan or do you take it twice a day? It is not just a BP medicine, it works by relaxing the vessels as you said. It is not just for BP but also to help prevent congestive heart failure and allow more blood flow through the arteries. It serves two purposes. Don't stop it without a Dr. monitoring you. BP is one thing, the narrowing is another. Did they tell you what your labs were for the diagnosis of renal failure? Bun? Creatinine? If you are taking a potassium supplement or using a salt substitute that can interact with the Valsartan and cause a rise in your Creatinine levels which could be the reason they thought renal failure. BP is highest in the morning and normally drops somewhat throughout the day. What is it normally in the morning? Was the MRI thing you mentioned called a Cardiac Calcium Scan? If those numbers are high, it indicates the narrowing of the arteries you mentioned. [/QUOTE]
