In patients whose renal function may depend on the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (e.g. patients with severe congestive heart failure), treatment with angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors has been associated with oliguria and progressive azotemia and (rarely) with acute renal failure and death. Irbesartan would be expected to behave similarly.
