Fifteen patients with hypertension and unilateral renal artery disease were treated with captopril alone; 10 came to operation and were later assessed postoperatively with no drug treatment. Captopril caused both immediate and sustained decreases in plasma angiotensin II and aldosterone, with increases in plasma active renin and blood angiotensin I concentrations. Decrements in systolic and diastolic pressure 2 hours after the first dose of captopril were closely correlated with the initial decreases in plasma angiotensin II. Blood pressure was decreased by long-term captopril therapy irrespective of whether plasma angiotensin II was abnormally high before treatment. The long-term response of both systolic and diastolic pressure correlated well with the response to surgery. By contrast, the blood pressure decrease 2 hours after the initial dose of captopril variously underestimated and overestimated the decrease during prolonged use of the drug and did not relate to surgical outcome. In patients who, before treatment, had secondary aldosteronism, hyponatremia, hypokalemia and sodium and potassium deficiency, captopril corrected these abnormalities. In the remaining patients, long-term captopril therapy did not alter exchangeable sodium, plasma sodium or total body potassium, although plasma potassium levels increased.
