... and postnatally. Such drugs include tocolytics, corticosteroids, antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. As these drugs are administered before the kidneys are fully developed, it is essential to understand their potential renal implications...

...Jasminko Huskić; Husein Kulenović; Filip Čulo Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme was measured in 60 patients with endemic nephropathy and in 30 healthy individuals. According to the arterial blood pressure, the patients with endemic nephropathy were further divided into groups with arterial...

...Dae-Yeol Lee; Won Kim; Sung Kyew Kang; Gou Young Koh; Sung Kwang Park To evaluate angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion polymorphism in nephrotic syndrome, 85 patients (minimal-change nephrotic syndrome, MCNS: 55 cases; focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, FSGS: 30 cases...

....) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in 27 healthy human volunteers, 7 with DD genotype, 10 with ID, and 10 with II genotype. The increase in effective renal plasma flow (p < 0.02) and the fall in renal vascular resistance (p < 0.01) in response to captopril...

...Fumihiko Ikemoto; Gyeong-Bu Song; Munechika Tominaga; Yoshiharu Kanayama; Kenjiro Yamamoto While it is known that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the kidney is concentrated at the brush borders of the proximal tubule, the role of tubular ACE in renal physiology is not well understood...

...Kazutomo Ujiie; Kimio Tomita; Akira Owada; Noriaki Matsui; Fumiaki Marumo We evaluated serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity and thyroid function to determine the importance as prognostic factors in acute renal failure (ARF). Among 37 ARF patients, 24 survived (recovered group) and 13...

... both showed directionally similar changes in the hypertensive patients following inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) with captopril. Filtration fraction by both estimates fell significantly after ACE inhibition in patients with RAS and essential hypertension, while RBF increased. IKGFR...

...Arne Høj Nielsen; Flemming Knudsen; Steen Dalby Kristensen In19 patients hemodialysis was associated with significant decreases in arterial oxygen tension and leukocyte count. After 240 min of dialysis serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) corrected for hemoconcentration increased 14.3% (p...

... and hyperuricemia seem to play a role in the progression of IgAN. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism has been associated with cardiovascular diseases and with progression of IgAN. We, therefore, investigated the contribution of ACE gene I/D polymorphism in the prognosis of IgAN and its...

... (I/D) polymorphism of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a genetic determinant of plasma ACE levels. Recent studies have found I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene to be associated with nephropathy in NIDDM. This association has not been evaluated in prospective studies. We, therefore, studied...
