What are the benefits of using ACEI or ARB for patients with diabetes, increased albuminuria, and normal-to-low GFR?
ACEI or ARB for patients with diabetes, increased albuminuria, and normal-to-low GFR can provide kidney and cardiovascular protection. However, there may be potential harms associated with the treatment, such as hyperkalemia and rises in serum creatinine, which may lead to higher costs from additional visits and laboratory testing.
