Feedback:
The presence of renal insufficiency is also a contraindication to the use of spironolactone because use of spironolactone may cause hyperkalemia through the inhibition of aldosterone and the subsequent retention of potassium. This patient does not face a greatly increased risk of anemia, hypocalcemia, or acidosis.
