Which ACE inhibitor is best for proteinuria?

We conclude that the ACE inhibitor lisinopril effectively reduces blood pressure and proteinuria in renal disease.

What are the main ACE inhibitors?

Examples of ACE inhibitors include:

  • Benazepril (Lotensin)
  • Captopril.
  • Enalapril (Vasotec)
  • Fosinopril.
  • Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)
  • Moexipril.
  • Perindopril.
  • Quinapril (Accupril)

What drugs are used to treat proteinuria?

Proteinuria Treatment & Management

  • ACE Inhibitors.
  • Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists (ARBs)
  • Diuretics, Loop.
  • Diuretics, Thiazide.
  • Aldosterone Antagonists, Selective.
  • Calcium Channel Antagonists.

Why do ACE inhibitors help proteinuria?

ACE inhibitors and ARBs reduce proteinuria by lowering the intraglomerular pressure, reducing hyperfiltration. These drugs tend to raise the serum potassium level and reduce the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Why are ACE inhibitors used in proteinuria?

ACE inhibitors reduce proteinuria and also reduce rate of deterioration of renal function in patients with diabetic and nondiabetic renal disease associated with proteinuria.

Is a statin an ACE inhibitor?

Medications classified as statins were atorvastatin, cerivastatin, fluvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin and simvastatin. Medications classified as ACE inhibitors were benazepril, captopril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril, moexipril, quinapril and ramipril.

Do ACE inhibitors reduce proteinuria?

Why do ACE inhibitors treat proteinuria?

How do ACE inhibitors help kidneys?

Treatment with ACE inhibitors results in kidney protection due to reduction of systemic blood pressure, intraglomerular pressure, an antiproliferative effect, reduction of proteinuria and a lipid-lowering effect in proteinuric patients (secondary due to reduction of protein excretion).
