Due to a renal protection mechanism, the drug class of choice for B.E.'s hypertension is:
- A.
Beta-Blocker
- B.
Loop diuretic
- C.
Thiazide diuretic
- D.
Alpha-adrenergic blocker
- E.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor
Correct Answer
E. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitorExplanation
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) are the drug class of choice for B.E.'s hypertension because they not only lower blood pressure but also provide renal protection. ACE inhibitors work by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which helps to relax blood vessels and reduce fluid retention. This mechanism of action is particularly beneficial for patients with hypertension as it helps to protect the kidneys from further damage.Rate this question:
