Key result
Administration of captopril in a patient with renal artery stenosis of a solitary kidney caused transient anuria, and the renovascular hypertension was successfully treated by renal autotransplantation.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Captopril can cause acute renal impairment and transient anuria in patients with renal artery stenosis of a solitary kidney, highlighting the need for caution when initiating ACE inhibitors in patients with decreased renal function and volume depletion.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Captopril may precipitate anuria in solitary-kidney RAS; this case leaves open ACE-inhibitor safety and autotransplantation efficacy.
Kawamura et al. (1982) conducted a case report in Renal artery stenosis of a solitary kidney with renovascular hypertension (n=1). Captopril and renal autotransplantation was evaluated on Acute renal impairment with transient anuria and resolution of renovascular hypertension. Administration of captopril in a patient with renal artery stenosis of a solitary kidney caused transient anuria, and the renovascular hypertension was successfully treated by renal autotransplantation.
