C. Losartan
Reason:
Losartan is the only ARB with a uricosuric effect (it increases uric acid excretion).
Therefore, it is preferred in hypertensive patients who also have gout because it helps lower serum uric acid levels.
@MoarSahitoPTI Chloramphenicol due to immature hepatic metabolism, specifically deficient UDP-glucuronyl transferase activity, needed for being adequately conjugated and eliminated, leading to toxic accumulation.
A patient with chronic heart failure is started on an ACE inhibitor. Which lab parameter must be monitored most closely.? 🤔
A) Serum sodium
B) Serum potassium
C) Hemoglobin
D) Platelet count
B) Serum potassium
Why?
ACE inhibitors reduce angiotensin II and decrease aldosterone secretion, which leads to:
↓ Potassium excretion in the kidneys
Risk of hyperkalemia ⚠️
This risk is especially important in:
Chronic heart failure
Chronic kidney disease
Concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone)
