Increased Renal Oxygenation and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibition

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2010-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

It is well established that renal hypoxia is associated with the development of renal injury. The purpose of this study is measure the alterations in renal blood oxygenation after angiotensin II converting enzyme inhibition. The understanding of kidney adaptive mechanisms to renin angiotensin system effects in healthy subjects will be useful for the early detection of renal disease and for the development of new therapies to decrease the progression of the disease and its consequences.
