| Abstract | ||
| Angiotensin Converting En4.me Inhibitors (ACEIs) are now in wide use m the treatments of arterial h)?efiension (HT), congestive head failure (CHF), Acute myocardial infraction (AMI) as well as diabetic and non diabetic nephropathies. Acute renal failure (ARF) is most likeJy to occur hen renal perfusion pressure can not be sustained either because of critical decrease in mean arlerial pressure (MAp) a situation encountered in patients with CHF and pre-existing hypotension and low ventricular filling pressures or when glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is highly angiotensin II (AJI) dependent, a situation seen in states of volume depletion and in the presence of high grade bilateral renal artery stenosis as expected in elderly will a great deal of afierial atheromotoirs disease | ||
