Captopril-induced acute reversible renal failure.

P Coulie, J F De Plaen, C van Ypersele de Strihou

    Nephron
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Captopril can cause acute reversible renal failure in patients with severe drug-resistant hypertension. Renovascular disease may increase the risk of this adverse effect, suggesting an intrarenal hemodynamic mechanism.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Pharmacology
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Severe drug-resistant hypertension poses significant clinical challenges.
    • Renovascular disease is a critical comorbidity in hypertensive patients.

    Observation:

    • Five cases of acute reversible renal failure were observed.
    • These cases coincided with the initiation of captopril treatment.
    • No clear immunologic or toxic cause was identified, though mild proteinuria and leukocyturia were noted in one patient.

    Findings:

    • Renal hypoperfusion alone does not fully explain the observed renal failure.
    • Changes in blood pressure did not consistently correlate with renal function.
    • Captopril may exert an additional intrarenal hemodynamic effect beyond altering perfusion.

    Implications:

    • Severe renovascular disease is a potential risk factor for captopril-induced acute renal failure.
    • Understanding captopril's intrarenal hemodynamic effects is crucial for patient safety.
    • This highlights the need for careful monitoring of renal function in hypertensive patients with renovascular disease treated with captopril.
