For which patients are ACE inhibitors considered standard therapy to prevent the progression of diabetic nephropathy?

  1. Elderly patients

  2. Diabetic patients

  3. Patients with asthma

  4. Children

The correct answer is: Diabetic patients

ACE inhibitors are considered standard therapy for the prevention of diabetic nephropathy, which is a kidney disease that can occur in patients with diabetes. This is due to the fact that ACE inhibitors can help to lower blood pressure and preserve kidney function in diabetic patients. While elderly patients may also benefit from ACE inhibitors, they are not specifically recommended for this population. Patients with asthma may actually experience worsened symptoms if they take ACE inhibitors, so this is not a recommended treatment option for them. Children are also not typically prescribed ACE inhibitors for the prevention of diabetic nephropathy.
