摘要:
A 65-year-old man presented proteinuria in the nephrotic range that occurs in the setting ofhigh renin hypertension. Proteinuria persisted after normalizing blood pressure by nifedipine. In contrast, treatment with an ACE-inhibitor (enalapril) resulted in the prompt resolution of the proteinuria. Interestingly, proteinuria relapsed after removing the ACE-inhibition. These observations suggest a causal relation between the overactivity of the renin-angiotensin system in this patient and his proteinuria.
