[Effect of benazepril on renal interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration in rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction].

Effect of benazepril on renal interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO). The results showed that the relative volume of interstitium and number of infiltrating inflammatory cell on the fifth day were significantly less in rats with benazepril than the control group, but the difference between two groups lose significance on the tenth day. These data indicate that benazepril can ameliorate early phase of renal interstitial inflammation in UUO.
