Hi there,
Cardace protects your kidneys instead of damaging. Your treating physician has advised you the correct medication.
In contrary your increased levels of Blood Urea and serum creatinine are due to hypertensive kidney disease. Becoz of Long standing Blood pressure which causing damage to your kidney filtration capabilities.
You better should be ruled out for Diabetes also.
I advise you to consult a Nephrologist for your concern.
