what class of anti-HTN meds is absolutely CONTRAINDICATED in bilateral renal artery stenosis and has been associated with acute renal failure
ACEs - With stenosed renal arteries, afferent flow cannot be increased, angiotensin II can actually become the only mechanism by which the kidney can increase filtration, and with severe stenosis, efferent arteriole constriction is crucial for maintaining some degree of filtration. ACE inhibitors would prevent conversion of Ang. I (which is inactive) to Ang. II, and therefore make everything worse by removing the kidney's only remaining regulatory mechanism as well as cutting the perfusion pressure and eliminating what little renal function remains. With tubular cells that are already less effective due to damage from chronic ischemia, the resulting decrease in GFR would effectively accelerate kidney failure .
