For that torsemide is given and it is good treatment. Your serum urea and creatinine increased suggestive of nephropathy. Hence hypertension and diabetes has to be controlled with medication to improve kidney function.Take low salt diet. Telmisartan like antihypertensive drug can be useful in renovascular hypertension. Doppler renal angiogram and USG scan advisable. I suggest you to consult Urologist for examination. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
