A) Antihypertensive medications
B) Antiarrhythmic medications
C) Opioid analgesics
D) Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Ans: A
Feedback:
Hypertension is a common result of CKD, and the mechanisms that produce hypertension in CKD include increased vascular volume, elevation of peripheral vascular resistance, decreased levels of renal vasodilator prostaglandins, and increased activity of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. NSAIDs, opioids, and antiarrhythmics are not as frequently indicated for the treatment of CKD.
