Captopril dramatically reduced massive proteinuria in a patient with renovascular hypertension and nephrotic syndrome.
Hypothesis-generating for captopril in renovascular hypertension with nephrotic syndrome; prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.
• In a case of renovascular hypertension associated with nephrotic syndrome, captopril showed a dramatic effect on massive proteinuria, probably due to the inhibition of proteinuriainducing action of angiotensin II. (Arch Intern Med140:1531-1533, 1980)
