The risk of arterial hypotension and / or renal failure increases with a significant loss of sodium and water (strict salt-free diet, and / or diuretics, diarrhea, vomiting) or renal artery stenosis (blockade in these situations of the renin-angiotensin system may result , especially with the first intake of the drug and during the first 2 weeks of treatment, to a sudden decrease in blood pressure and the development of chronic renal failure).
Before and during the therapy it is recommended to determine the concentration of creatinine, electrolytes and urea (within 1 month).
In patients with hypertension who are already receiving diuretic therapy, it is necessary to stop taking them (3 days before the appointment of the drug Aren Hopress) and, if necessary, continue to add to the treatment again.
In patients with chronic heart failure who are receiving diuretic therapy, if possible, it is necessary to reduce their dose several days before the start of Arentopresa.
In patients at risk, especially with chronic heart failure in the stage of decompensation, elderly patients,as well as patients with baseline low blood pressure, impaired renal function or receiving large doses of diuretics, initiation, use of the drug should be controlled.
Patients on hemodialysis should avoid the use of polyacrylonitrile membranes (possibly the development of anaphylactoid reactions). It is necessary to stop receiving before the forthcoming surgical intervention for a day and to warn the anesthetist about taking the drug.
Acceptance of ACE inhibitors is sometimes associated with a syndrome that begins with the development of cholestatic jaundice, progressing to fulminant liver necrosis, and (sometimes) death. - The mechanism of development of this syndrome is not clear. If symptoms of jaundice appear or the activity of "liver" enzymes increases in patients taking ACE inhibitors, discontinue drug therapy and conduct an appropriate examination.
With normal kidney function and the absence of other complications, neutropenia occurs - rarely. ACE inhibitors are prescribed only in emergency cases in the presence of systemic vasculitis, immunosuppressive therapy, reception of allopurinol or procainamide,as well as when combining all these factors, especially against the background of previous renal failure. There is a risk of developing severe infectious diseases resistant to intensive antibiotic therapy. When conducting perindopril therapy in patients with the above factors, it is necessary to regularly monitor the number of white blood cells and warn the patient about the need to inform the doctor about the appearance of any symptoms of infection.
In the procedure of apheresis of low density lipoproteins with dextran-sulphate absorption, anaphylactic reactions may develop in patients with ACE inhibitors.
