Is it safe for a 32-year-old man with high blood pressure controlled by Losar 25 mg, who has one poorly functioning misplaced kidney and one enlarged kidney (with a stable creatinine level of 1.2 to 1.3), to do exercises like pushups and squats, and how much daily physical exercise can be done without damaging the kidneys?
With your stable creatinine levels, moderate exercises like bodyweight pushups, squats, and brisk walking are generally very safe and highly beneficial. Since your blood pressure is well-controlled with Losar (losartan), aiming for 30 minutes of moderate daily exercise, or 150 minutes a week, is a great, safe target. To protect your kidneys, please stay well-hydrated during workouts, avoid extreme heavy weightlifting that causes intense straining, and avoid contact sports. Always discuss your specific exercise plans with your doctor to ensure they align perfectly with your ongoing care.
