Captopril-induced renal injury

Renal damage caused by captopril refers to acute interstitial nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and renal function impairment resulting from the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Captopril is safe, effective, and tolerable for most patients. However, some patients who have certain underlying factors affecting renal function, such as renal artery stenosis, renal artery thrombosis, solitary kidney, or transplanted kidney, may develop acute renal failure, tubulointerstitial lesions, and other damage after using captopril.
