Study Summary

Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is the leading cause of longterm renal transplant loss. Angiotensin-II may play a role in the development and progression of CAN. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) comprise a drug class that inhibit the effects of angiotensin-II. However these drugs have been reported to cause elevated potassium and creatinine levels in some renal transplant patients. Yet, there are now several retrospective reports of long term benefits of improved renal function and graft survival in renal transplant recipients. There have been no reports of prospective randomized controlled trials of ACEI in renal transplant patients in the early post transplant period. The purpose of the present study is to assess the safety of enalapril, a drug in the ACEI class, when started 1-3 month post transplant. This is a double-blinded, randomized control trial of enalapril vs. placebo in new renal transplant patients with serum creatinine values no higher than 2.5mg/dl and normal serum potassium levels. The study drug will be administered for 6 months. Patients will be monitored in the renal transplant clinic every 1-4 weeks according to routine protocol. Clinical end-points will be occurence of potassium \>5.9mEQ/L or sustained increase in serum creatinine \>30% from baseline.
