  • Title: [Development of renal function in the transplanted patient with renal hypertension treated with enalapril].
    Author: Guerin C, Genin C, Sabatier JC, Toulon J, Leroy G, Berthoux F.
    Journal: Nephrologie; 1987; 8(1):19-22. PubMed ID: 3035397.
    Abstract:
    We report our experience with a converting-enzyme inhibitor, enalapril, as antihypertensive agent in eighteen patients with hypertension after renal transplantation. Renal function was prospectively followed up. Six patients demonstrated an acute renal failure episode (defined by a 25% increase of serum creatinine during enalapril therapy). Renal failure was always reversible with interruption or dosage reduction of the drug. We recommend to start therapy with low dose and to closely monitor renal function.
