During the course of Mrs. Lopez’s hypertensive therapy, she presented with an allergy to lisinopril. Lisinopril reduces the effects of angiotensin II. What class of medication is lisinopril and what is its mechanism of action? What is another class of antihypertensives that reduces the effects of angiotensin II and can be considered separately but not in combination with the lisinopril class of medications for hypertensive patients with CKD? What is an example of a drug in that medication class and what is the MOA of that class of medication?
