Supports reversible AKI from ACEi-diuretic combo without RAS; leaves open causality and generalizability.
Does the combination of ACE inhibitors and diuretics/sodium depletion cause acute renal failure in patients without renal artery stenosis?
Sodium depletion and diuretic use can precipitate acute renal failure in patients taking ACE inhibitors, even in the absence of large renal vessel disease.
Bridoux et al. (1992) studied this question.
