[Angiotensin - a possible cause of acute renal failure (author's transl)]. 1976

H Pall, and G Kleinberger, and R Kotzaurek, and M Pichler, and S Szeless

The hypertensive action of angiotensin is purely brought about by peripheral vasoconstriction and may, thus, lead to reduced perfusion of vital organs, especially the kidneys. The dangers of angiotensin in triggering off acute renal failure are illustrated by a case report in which this drug was administered to a comatose patient with hypovolaemic hypotension following barbiturate self-poisoning.

D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.
