ACE inhibitors and ARBs are not recommended in CKD due to their potential to?

Increase GFR (correct)

Promote sclerosis of the glomerular basement membrane

Decrease proteinuria

Raise glomerular hydrostatic pressure

What is the effect of dilation of the efferent arteriole?

Increased glomerular hydrostatic pressure

Increased glomerular filtration rate

Decreased proteinuria

Decreased glomerular hydrostatic pressure (correct)

Which statement best describes the impact of ACE inhibitors and ARBs on GFR?

They reduce GFR by constricting the afferent arteriole

They increase GFR by dilating the efferent arteriole

They have no effect on GFR

They decrease GFR by constricting the efferent arteriole (correct)

What is the mechanism by which ACE inhibitors can lead to hypotension in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)?

ACE inhibitors decrease angiotensin II levels, leading to less vasoconstriction and decreased total peripheral vascular resistance Signup and view all the answers
