Posterior urethral valves: Persistent renin angiotensin system activation after valve ablation and role of pre-emptive therapy with angiotensin converting enzyme-inhibitors on renal recovery

Aim: To study renin angiotensin system (RAS) activity after posterior urethral valve ablation and the role of early induction of angiotensin converting enzyme-inhibitors (ACE-I) on the outcome of renal function. Materials and Methods: Thirty four children underwent valve ablation in which therapy wi...
