Enalapril-induced acute renal failure in a newborn infant.
A full-term baby boy developed congestive cardiac failure secondary to left-to-right shunts. He developed acute renal failure following the administration of oral enalapril given for the treatment of cardiac failure. There was no underlying renal disease or renal artery stenosis. He required three peritoneal dialyses, following which he recovered from the renal failure.
