The effect of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition on the sensitivity of
radionuclide renography in the diagnosis of a unilateral renal artery stenosis was tested …

Suppression of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) by angiotensin converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibition may induce renal failure in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis …

Sensitivity and specificity of captopril renoscintigraphy (CRS) with Tc-99m DTPA has been
analyzed in 41 cases, 16 with renovascular hypertension (RVH) and 25 with non-RVH. The …

Recent advances have increased the value of radionuclide renography in evaluating the
patient with suspected disease of the genitourinary tract. The use of the consensus process …

The purpose of this study was to develop a method based on artificial neural networks for
interpretation of captopril renography tests for the detection of renovascular hypertension …

Retrospective analysis of precaptopril and postcaptopril DTPA renograms from 88
hypertensive patients was performed to refine the quantitative criteria used to diagnose …

The objective of this study was to assess the cost effectiveness of eight strategies to
diagnose renovascular hypertension (RVHT) followed by treatment with percutaneous …

A practical indication that a patient needs additional work-up for diagnosing renal artery
stenosis is the presence of drug-resistant hypertension. In such patients the prevalence of …

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor renography (ACE-I renography) is a non-invasive
examination developed during the last half of the 1980s to diagnose renovascular …

The purpose of the study was to compare the positive and negative predictive values of
conventional renography (Reno-A), captopril renography (Reno-B) and ultrasound Doppler …
