Suggest Treatment For Hypertension With Elevated TSH Levels
My mother is suffering from hypertension and her TSH levels are also high. Last week after performing some tests it was found that her creatinine level is 2.1 and mild proteinurea(+). On USG left kidney size 9.64 cm and right kidney is 8.65 cm and there is partial loss of cortico-medullary echoes. Can we plz tell the problem and treatment plan??

The creatinine is higher, most probably it is due to hypertension related kidney injury (usg and s crest suggest early stages of chronic kidney diesease) , likewise kidney problems itself will result in higher blood pressure, triggering a vicious cycle. Because the medication he is on is not available, I suggest you to consult a nephrologist or your doctor and review your meds as decreasing proteinuria should be a priority .
Also Tsh on higher side suggest s hypothyroidism, which would require supplementation of thyroxine
