Which one of the following is Not true of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor____________?
Correct answer: C. Contraindicated in diabetic nephropathy
- A. May cause hyperkalaemia in diabetic patients
- B. Contraindicated in pregnancy
- C. Contraindicated in diabetic nephropathy
- D. NSAIDs may impair its hypotensive effect
Explanation
ACE inhibitors are useful in diabetic nephropathy because they reduce intraglomerular pressure and proteinuria. They can cause hyperkalaemia, are contraindicated in pregnancy, and NSAIDs can reduce their antihypertensive effect, so the false statement is that diabetic nephropathy is a contraindication.
