1 We observed three patients with hereditary glomerulonephritis with plasma creatinine concentrations ranging from 1.7 to 2.0 mg/dL who were treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) for 3.5 to 6 years. Creatinine angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
2 Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy was accompanied by a decrease in the mean arterial pressure (MAP) from 115 +/- 10 mm Hg to 93 +/- 2 mm Hg (+/- SD), a decrease in the mean urinary protein/creatinine ratio from 2,910 +/- 1,720 mg/g to 391 +/- 355 mg/g, and stabilization of the decline of creatinine clearance with time in two of the three patients. Creatinine angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
