Pt with left renal artery stenosis with normal right kidney should be Rx with loop diuretic or ACEI & what will be the effect
i thought ACEI should not be used in renal artery stenosis?
the choices are:
1) loop diuretic with increase in plasma renin activity
2) aceI with increase in renin activity & angiotensin I activity
hi dorapatho:

I just did the form 1 today. remeber this question. answer is 2). due to the negative feed back of decreased angII.
