What is your next step What is your next step (diagnostic/therapeutic?)(diagnostic/therapeutic?)

Aortic dissectionAortic dissection

h/o HTN, “tearing” pain, radiation to back Can dissect into renal / mesenteric / carotid /

ACE inhibitors and kidney diseaseACE inhibitors and kidney disease Clearly reduce progression to ESRD in diabetic patients (especially

with proteinuria – micro or macro) Nondiabetic patients have similar benefit:
