Hello jbrown811.

You seem to have some kind of renal impairment, although in the initial stage.
Since how long you have been anti-hypertensive? You can discuss with the doctor to change the lisinopril to telmisartan or losartan which are better molecules for the protection of the kidneys. Also, if you are diabetic, then the blood sugars need to be controlled well. Avoid ibuprofen as far as possible as it might affect the kidneys as well.

Best
