A member asked:
Recent lab tests all norm except low blood/urine protein (vegan) and low gfr (79). now have blood pressure 160/135 after raising lisinipril. kidneys?

Consult nephrologist: Your eGFR is lower than normal and is probably even lower, given that you are a vegan. Diabetes and high blood pressure are risks for kidney disease and both are worse than the sum of each. It would be prudent to consult a nephrologist.
