Captopril in hypertension after renal transplantation.
We report the successful use of captopril for severe hypertension in three renal transplant recipients. Multiple drugs including minoxidil were ineffective in these patients. Bilateral nephrectomy also failed to control the hypertension in one patient. The addition of captopril resulted in excellent and sustained control of blood pressure without side-effects in all three patients.
