Membranous glomerulopathy and nephrotic syndrome after captopril therapy
B. C. Sturgill and K. T. Shearlock
Membranous glomerulopathy and proteinuria have occurred in patients
receiving captopril for hypertension. In this case of captopril-associated
nephrotic syndrome, a pretreatment biopsy specimen showed normal histologic
appearance and glomerular ultrastructure. A posttreatment biopsy specimen
showed membranous glomerulopathy. It seems likely that captopril caused the
membraneous glomerulopathy.
