TL;DR
Some elderly patients with occult renovascular disease on ACE inhibitors will be at risk of developing uraemia and Renal function should be closely monitored to detect any deterioration early.
Abstract
Some elderly patients with occult renovascular disease on ACE inhibitors will be at risk of developing uraemia. Renal function should be closely monitored to detect any deterioration early.
