The effect of captopril on renal function in patients during the first cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II infusion

Abstract: On the assumption that hemodynamic changes in renal blood flow are the initial expression of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP)-related nephrotoxicity, we treated patients with metastatic non-seminomatous testicular carcinoma during CDDP infusion with captopril. This angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor significantly attenuated the initial decrease in effective renal plasma flow and can probably be used to protect the kidneys against CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity.

“…In an earlier study we postulated the hypothesis of the influence of CDDP on renal function through a stimulation of the intrarenal prostaglandin synthesis and thus an activation of the renin-angiotensin system [5], as has been described for mercuric chloride [16] and uranyl nitrate [17], Captopril. an angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitor, indeed appeared to be able to prevent the initial decrease in ERPF during the first course of CDDP [5]. Apparently captopril also prevented some of the decrease in ERPF on day 10 in this study.…”

“…an angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitor given concomitantly with CDDP in order to prevent CDDP-induced nephro toxicity, was found to prevent the initial decrease in effec tive renal plasma flow (ERPF) [5]. It seemed worthwhile to investigate the possibility that captopril might also prevent the fall in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) later on.…”
