Q. A 42-year-old male patient with a history of type 2 Diabetes and hypertension comes to the medical outpatient department for a routine follow-up. He reports feeling generally well but is concerned about some foamy urine he has noticed recently. On physical examination, his blood pressure is 140/85 mm Hg, and there are no other significant findings. Laboratory tests reveal a serum creatinine of 1.2 mg/dL and a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio of 400 mg/g. What is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?
