We performed renal function studies in dogs with chronic renovascular hypertension produced by complete occlusion of a renal artery. In addition, we evaluated in anesthetized dogs the acute effects of a novel angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, CGS 16,617, on renal function and plasma neurohormones (epinephrine, norepinephrine and vasopressin) 4 weeks after initiation of 2 kidney, 1 clip hypertension. CGS 16,617 effectively decreased blood pressure in renal hypertensive animals. This response was associated with suppression of angiotensin II indicating effective converting enzyme inhibition. In the non-clipped kidney, acute administration of CGS 16,617 increased effective renal plasma flow but not glomerular filtration rate and urinary sodium excretion. In the clipped kidney, CGS 16,617 caused no change in any parameter of renal function. Plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine and vasopressin were unaffected by administration of CGS 16,617. These studies showed that chronic occlusion of a renal artery does not result in renal infarction because of a compensatory increase in the amount of blood provided through capsular collateral vessels. The collateral circulation which has developed in the clipped kidney explains the lack of a converting enzyme inhibitor effect.
