Consequences of fluid loss in patients treated with ACE inhibitors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three patients are described in whom haemodynamic collapse and acute renal failure occurred following intercurrent gastrointestinal fluid loss during treatment with an angiotensin converting-enzyme inhibitor. The possible consequences of blockade of the formation of angiotensin II during fluid loss are discussed.

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and restenosis after coronary artery stenting in patients with the DD genotype of the ACE gene.
OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that patients with the DD genotype of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene who are treated with ACE inhibitors are at a higher risk of restenosis after coronary stent placement than patients who do not receive ACE inhibitors. BACKGROUND Two recent studies with a limited series of patients carrying the DD genotype suggested an unfavorable impact of...
متن کاملThe Effect of Quinapril on the Aortic Contractile Response of Streptozotocin-Diabetic Rats
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors appear to correct many of the abnormalities associated with the vascular dysfunction found in diabetic patients. In this respect, quinapril is a unique ACE inhibitor with multiple protective effects. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of intraperitoneal administration of quinapril on the aortic reactivity of streptozotocin ...
متن کاملHigher cerebrospinal fluid angiotensin-converting enzyme levels in neuroleptic-treated than in drug-free patients with schizophrenia.
The aim of this study was to replicate our earlier finding of elevated angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in schizophrenia and to elucidate the role of neuroleptic treatment in this phenomenon. Drug-free and medicated patients with acute schizophrenic psychoses, as well as healthy controls were recruited. Levels of ACE were measured in CSF and serum from 7 drug-fre...
متن کاملThe Lipophilicity Examination of Some ACE inhibitors and Hydrochlorothiazide on Cellulose in RP Thin-Layer Chromatography
In this assay, the evaluation of lipophilicity of four ACE-inhibitors and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) with RP-TLC on cellulose layers was described using three binary solvent systems. The selected ACE inhibitors had sufficiently different structures which can indicate the method suitability for their lipophilicity evaluation as the model substances in comparison with HCTZ. In addition, the linea...
