[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can can understand your concern. Your father is having accelerated hypertension (blood pressure more than 200/120 MMH). And this much high blood pressure can damage kidneys and cause protein lose in urine. So we have to control his blood pressure to prevent further kidney damage. Follow these steps for better control of blood pressure. 1. Strict control of salt intake is needed. 2. Avoid fatty and oily food. 3. Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc. 4. Start angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) like telmisartan, losartan. Other antihypertensive Chat Doctor.  If still not controlled then centrally acting
