title: [Effect of the ACE-inhibitor captopril on the blood pressure and kidney function of patients with essential and renal hypertension].
abstract: We retrospectively analysed the effects of a 12-month treatment with captopril (Tensiomin) in 46 patients. All of the patients had hypertension lasting for years (9 essential, 37 with chronic renal failure), 32 of them had proteinuria. Captopril was given in addition to, or in exchange for, other antihypertensive drugs. Under treatment with ACE-inhibitors, a small but significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure (0.4 torr/month) and in proteinuria (0.19 g/month) was seen (regression analysis). Discriminant analysis showed proteinuria and diastolic blood pressure to be the more modifiable, the younger the patients, the higher the proteinuria at the beginning and the longer the history of hypertension. Serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, serum protein and serum potassium did not change.
