Deterioration in renal function in patients with chronic renal failure after treatment with captopril. 1985

G Boner, and G Morduchowicz, and Z Rotenberg, and I Weinberger, and J Shohat, and J B Rosenfeld

Acute reversible renal failure has been reported in patients receiving captopril, especially those with unilateral or bilateral renal artery stenosis. Two patients with advanced renal disease presented with an acute deterioration in renal function after the introduction of captopril treatment. In both instances this deterioration was irreversible. Captopril should be used with caution in patients with advanced renal disease.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D002216 Captopril A potent and specific inhibitor of PEPTIDYL-DIPEPTIDASE A. It blocks the conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure. Captopril acts to suppress the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM and inhibits pressure responses to exogenous angiotensin.
