The activation of the renin angiotensin system is thought to be an important factor contributing to hypertension following kidney transplantation (TX). We studied 21 hypertensive renal transplant recipients, without evidence of acute graft rejection or transplant artery stenosis, 6 to 60 months post-TX. The acute responses of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and renal hemodynamics (ERPF: effective renal plasma flow, 131I-Hippuran clearance) and function (GFR: glomerular filtration rate, creatinine clearance; UNaV: urinary sodium excretion rate) to converting enzyme inhibition (CEI) by captopril were assessed. CEI induced a decrease in MAP (118 +/- 2 to 110 +/- 2 mmHg), renal resistance (RR: 0.27 +/- 0.02 to 0.21 +/- 0.01) and filtration fraction (FF: 0.31 +/- 0.02 to 0.23 +/- 0.01). ERPF (307 +/- 24 to 333 +/- 18 ml/min/1.73 m2) and GFR (88 +/- 5 to 78 +/- 5 ml/min/1.73 m2) were not significantly changed. UNaV increased by 53 +/- 24 mumol/min. Changes in MAP (r = -0.66), ERPF (r = 0.74) and FF (r = -0.88) were significantly correlated with the log of control plasma renin activity (PRA). In 10 patients with an increase of ERPF (range: + 30 to + 70%) and no change in GFR, the activated renin system could originate from the recipient's own kidneys. In the remaining 11 patients, CEI was associated with no increase in ERPF (change: + 2 to - 27%) and a fall in GFR, a response suggesting a possible intrarenal vascular damage. These results indicate that RAS participates in the regulation of systemic and renal vascular tone, with a possible predominant effect on efferent glomerular arteriole.
