Why do you get hyperkalemia with Ace Inhibitors?
Also, am I right on this: so Ace Inhibitors are contra indicative in pts with bilateral renal artery stenosis bc they decrease the GFR levels by vasodilating the efferent arterioles. Since you have bilateral renal artery stenosis, you are already decreasing the GFR levels, so this just adds to that effect????
