title: [Diagnostic value of the captopril test in patients with arterial hypertension].
abstract: In 30 patients with renovascular hypertension, 50 with hypertension in a course of arteries, 71 hypertensive subjects with coexisting parenchymal nephropathy and in 63 with primary hypertension the captopril test was performed after 8 hours night rest and within high sodium diet. Positive test result was stated in 76.67% of patients with renovascular hypertension, in 70.59% of patients with arteritis, in 53.52% of patients with hypertension and coexisting parenchymal nephropathy and in 63.49% of patients with primary hypertension. Significant correlation between increase of plasma renin activity and blood pressure decrease after captopril administration was only stated in patients with renovascular hypertension and in those with arteritis. Results of performed studies impaired the captopril test value in diagnostics of renin-dependent hypertension.
