title: Failure of fenoldopam to control severe hypertension secondary to renal graft rejection in a pediatric patient.
abstract: We report the first case of the failure of fenoldopam for a pediatric patient with severe hypertension and renal failure. Our patient was a 3-year-old child with severe hypertension secondary to renal graft rejection and high-dose steroid treatment. The patient's hypertension was controlled with nitroprusside but not with fenoldopam.
