LOINC description : The most common substance used in a renin challenge is a weight-dependent dose of
captopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. In a captopril challenge test
(CCT), plasma concentration of renin is measured prior to and following the administration
of captopril. A significant increase in the post-dose renin level is abnormal and
is a marker for renovascular disease. [Wikipedia:Captopril challenge test];
