Lisinopril for Renal Protection in Postpartum Preeclamptic Women
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Microalbuminuria, Preeclampsia
In brief
There may be a role for Lisinopril in improving renal protection in post-partum women who had preeclampsia during pregnancy. The aim of this study is to determine whether routine initiation of Lisinopril after delivery, in women who had preeclampsia while they were pregnant, can control high blood pressure and improve kidney function.
