1 We found only one published case in which losartan was used without deterioration in renal function in patients who developed renal dysfunction while taking an ACE inhibitor, although underreporting of such cases would be expected. Losartan angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
2 There was one case of renal dysfunction with losartan after a lack of renal dysfunction while the patient was taking an ACE inhibitor. Losartan angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
3 Furthermore, case reports suggest that, as with ACE inhibitors, losartan should be avoided in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis and in patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis in a solitary kidney. Losartan angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
