captopril cures proteinuria in D.M. However, it also causes proteinuria. That is to say, captopril should not be used in treating renal dysfunction in Diabetes, right?
Thank you.

good point- newer ace inhibitors are better than captopril-in regards to side effects.
second point is- any drug can be used if renal parameters are monitored.
but it is a valid argument.
ace inhibitors are good for micro albuminuria- prolly not tht good in full blown renal damage.

captopril is helpful in diabetic nephropathy but contra-indicated for renal artery stenosis.
