Ace Inhibitors

Posted By Mike on July 08, 1999 at 10:21:30
I've read the this class of drug works wonders with high blood pressure.  I also understand that it can sometimes cause kidney functions to go out of whack.  I was wondering what sort of effects this class of drug has on other organ systems?
Also I understand that when one, for example, is presenting with a history of proteinuria (not necessarily secondary to hypertension) he/she may actually be put on an ACE inhibitor.  I would assume that given the warnings the drug comes with regarding its effect on kidney functions that it would have an adverse effect on proteinuria.  How does this drug "help" treating proteinuria?
