title: Control of nephroblastoma: associated hypertension and polydipsia by captopril.
abstract: A child with nephroblastoma, severe hypertension, polydipsia, and polyuria is presented. Previous reports of this association describe great difficulty in controlling the hypertension by medical means. Captopril provided prompt and continuing control of this child's hypertension and allowed for optimal preparation prior to surgery.
