Popis: Aim. To study safety and efficacy of ACE inhibitor enalapril in chronic transplantation nephropathy (CTN) as well as nephroprotective efficacy of this drug in various clinical variants of CTN. Material and methods. A retrospective study covered 220 recipients with CRF. The patients were divided into the study group (n = 103) and the control group (n = 117). The study group was given ACE inhibitor enalapril the efficacy of which was assessed by arterial pressure (systolic, diastolic, mean) dynamics, 24 h proteinuria and the rate of CTN progression. This rate was suggested by probability of plasm creatinin doubling (Kaplan-Meier technique). Results. Enalapril significantly inhibited CTN progression running with minimal or marked proteinuria, had a pronounced hypotensive effect, promoted stabilization of minimal proteinuria (in CTN with minimal proteinuria) or reduction of protein excretion (in a proteinuric variant of CTN). Conclusion. Use of enalapril in CTN in a daily dose 10 mg maximum is safe and can be used for inhibition of CTN progression.
