Abstract
Sialadenitis is a rare adverse effect of captopril. We report a case of captopril‑induced
sialadenitis in a patient with end‑stage renal disease (ESRD). A 20‑year‑old man with
ESRD encountered parotid and submandibular swelling after receiving two doses of
captopril, administered sublingually. Despite of prescribing dexamethasone, resuming
hemodialysis, and discontinuing other drugs that also can cause parotitis, he improved
later than what was reported in patients with normal renal function. In conclusion
recovery from captopril‑induced sialadenitis in patients with ESRD may be more
prolonged than that of patients with normal renal function; moreover, early hemodialysis
which helps in drug removal may be the most effective treatment.
