You are right tess, but the issue here is "stenosis in the renal artery of a transplanted kidney" and YES ACEI cause ARF in a patient who has stenosis in the renal artery of a transplanted kidney.

Probably you are right, dut i think in transplant 1 kidney= 1 artery ( " Renal graft artery stenosis should be excuded before the initiation of ACEI or ARB therapy and careful monitoring of renal function in the first weeks following treatement should be performed" Transplat Trends Vol.6 No.2 2nd issue 2004 http://www.fujisawa.com/medinfo/ce/trans_trends/6...)

If you have unilateral renal artery stenosis and you give an ACE-I, you can get kidney failure isolated to that kidney. Bilateral renal artery stenosis, combined with ACE-I, is life-threatening, as you will have complete kidney shutdown.
