Enalapril treatment in a patient with impaired renal function and intolerance to captopril. 1984

M Lindsjö, and B G Danielson, and L Weiss, and B Wikström

In a 36-year-old woman with malignant hypertension and moderate renal insufficiency from nephrosclerosis normotension was not achieved by the combination of a beta-blocker, a vasodilator, and a loop-diuretic. The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor captopril was then added to the therapy. The blood pressure control was good. However, due to adverse reactions, captopril had to be withdrawn. Later on, the patient was successfully treated with enalapril, another ACE inhibitor, without the relapse of any adverse reactions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006974	Hypertension, Malignant	A condition of markedly elevated BLOOD PRESSURE with DIASTOLIC PRESSURE usually greater than 120 mm Hg. Malignant hypertension is characterized by widespread vascular damage, PAPILLEDEMA, retinopathy, HYPERTENSIVE ENCEPHALOPATHY, and renal dysfunction.	Malignant Hypertension
D007674	Kidney Diseases	Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues.	Disease, Kidney,Diseases, Kidney,Kidney Disease
D007703	Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A	A peptidyl-dipeptidase that catalyzes the release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-\|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin II. It is also able to inactivate BRADYKININ, a potent vasodilator; and has a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.

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.
