  • Title: Captopril-induced deterioration of graft function in patients with a transplant renal artery stenosis.
    Author: van Son WJ, van der Woude FJ, Tegzess AM, Donker AJ, Slooff MJ, van der Slikke LB, Hoorntje SJ.
    Journal: Proc Eur Dial Transplant Assoc; 1983; 20():325-30. PubMed ID: 6361746.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated nine captopril-treated patients with transplant renal artery stenosis. Captopril treatment always resulted in a dramatic decrease in renal function; in two patients complete anuria developed. Only in two patients with a stenosis in one out of two renal arteries was a satisfactory fall in blood pressure achieved. The mechanisms which may lead to these remarkable results will be discussed.
