  • Title: Nephrotic-range proteinuria in a patient with high renin hypertension: effect of treatment with an ACE-inhibitor.
    Author: Docci D, Moscatelli G, Capponcini C, Baldrati L, Feletti C.
    Journal: Am J Nephrol; 1992; 12(5):387-9. PubMed ID: 1489013.
    Abstract:
    A 65-year-old man presented proteinuria in the nephrotic range that occurs in the setting of high renin hypertension. Proteinuria persisted after normalizing blood pressure by nifedipine. In contrast, treatment with an ACE-inhibitor (enalapril) resulted in the prompt resolution of the proteinuria. Interestingly, proteinuria relapsed after removing the ACE-inhibition. These observations suggest a causal relation between the overactivity of the renin-angiotensin system in this patient and his proteinuria.
