For patients with diabetes and albuminuria, which category of medication is recommended?

  1. DHP CCB

  2. ACE/ARB

  3. Thiazide

  4. BB

The correct answer is: ACE/ARB

For patients with diabetes and albuminuria, ACE inhibitors (ACE) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are recommended medications. These medications have been shown to be particularly beneficial in this patient population due to their ability to reduce proteinuria and slow the progression of kidney disease. ACE inhibitors and ARBs work by dilating blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart, which can help protect the kidneys in diabetic patients with albuminuria.
