Popis: To study effects of ACE inhibitors in patients with diffuse renal diseases at the stage of chronic renal failure (CRF).Acute changes in renal filtration and in renal hemodynamics in response to 100-200 mg captopril were studied in 7 patients with CRF and 6 patients with intact renal function. Effects of long-term ACE inhibitors were retrospectively studied in 50 patients with CRF (27 men, 23 women, mean age 46.0 +/- 1.9 years, 7 patients were over 60 years old). Sixteen patients were selected from this group who were followed up for a long time. They were examined for CRF progression rate when given conventional antihypertensive treatment and after treatment with ACE inhibitors.Acute response to ACE inhibitors was the following: SCF fell by 18.4% on the average by the end on therapy week 1; by the end of week 3 renal hemodynamics showed stability, SCF returned to normal, effective renal plasm flow rose by 16.9%, serum potassium rose significantly after 7 days of treatment but did not reach 6 mmol/l. Effects of long-term ACE inhibitor in CRF: the treatment was discontinued after 30-60 days in 12 of 50 patients because of high creatinine (20%); in 38 patients ACE inhibitor had a pronounced antihypertensive and antiproteinuric action for 2-3 years, creatinine growth inhibited. Progression of CRF became slow.ACE-inhibitors in CRF had a nephroprotective effect but blood creatinine levels should be controlled especially within the first 1-2 months of treatment.
