Captopril-enhanced renal scintigraphy in the diagnosis of pediatric hypertension
Pediatric Nephrology, 10/28/09

Reusz GS et al. – In the neonate, catheter–associated thromboembolic disease is among the most common causes hypertension. It should be controlled medically until the patient is old enough to undergo angiography and angioplasty successfully. Thus, in this age group, there is a place for functional imaging with renal sonography and angiotensin–converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) renography to detect hemodynamically significant renovascular disease, with the limitations mentioned above.
