What are contraindications for ACE inhibitor therapy?

  1. Overweight patients

  2. Patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis

  3. Patients with vitamin D deficiency

  4. Patients over 65 years of age

The correct answer is: Patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis

Contraindications for ACE inhibitor therapy are conditions or factors that make it unsafe or inadvisable for a patient to take this type of medication. Option B, patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis, is the only correct answer out of the options provided. Bilateral renal artery stenosis is a condition where both arteries leading to the kidneys are significantly narrowed. ACE inhibitors can decrease blood flow to the kidneys, making them less effective, and should therefore be avoided in patients with this condition. The other options, such as being overweight, having a vitamin D deficiency, or being over 65 years of age, do not pose a direct risk for ACE inhibitor therapy and are not contraindications. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for any concerns or questions about potential contraindications for specific medications.
