I have renal stenosis in my left side. It isn't bad enough to correct, but I can only take one blood pressure medication, clonidine. I am allergic to sulfa, so diuretics don't work. Ace inhibitors also cause increase in blood pressure. Why can't we have these stenosis put in earlier, like in my case. Even my cardiologist is mystified. I even thought of donating my kidney. I can't because of my renal stenosis.
