Renal transplant hypertension caused by iliac artery stenosis.

Division of Nuclear Medicine, University of Alabama, Birmingham Medical Center.

A captopril renal study performed with both radiohippuran and 99mTc-MAG3 demonstrated the typical changes of a hemodynamically significant renal artery stenosis in a hypertensive renal allograft recipient. Arteriography demonstrated high grade stenosis not of the renal artery but of the iliac artery. After successful angioplasty, the patient's hypertension resolved.

Patient Drug Information

  • Captopril (Capoten® )

    Captopril is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It decreases certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly and the heart can pump blood more efficiently.
