hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.It seems that your son has relapse of nephrotic syndrome inspite cyclophopshamide and levamisole.Root of uncontrolled hypertension lies in kidneys.You should go for kidney biopsy in consultation with your nephrologist ,Depending upon report there may be need for alteration in medicine for nephrotic syndrome.
He should be given Amlodipine group of medicine to control BP .
My best wishes
