Abstract

A living related kidney transplant recipient with normal renal function and severe hypertension secondary to renal artery stenosis, was treated with captopril and developed reversible renal failure requiring temporary hemodialysis. This complication of captopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, has been reported previously in hypertensive patients with renal artery stenosis with and without a kidney transplant. It is recommended that this drug be used with caution in this setting.
