An unusual case of neonatal anuria

Neonatal anuria is not an uncommon problem in neonates. Here, we report an unusual case of neonatal anuria due to renal tubular dysgenesis, secondary to the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) during pregnancy. ACEI remains one of the most commonly used antihypertensive drug at present. A greater awareness needs to be created in the medical fraternity especially among pediatricians, gynecologists and internists that ACE inhibitors should not be prescribed during any trimester of pregnancy.
