A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Lisinopril is actually an excellent choice for hypertension in a patient with kidney disease. There are some conditions where you would not want to use the drug, but they are not common or likely: -renal artery stenosis (determined by kidney ultrasound) -acute kidney failure
