Brief Summary  

In this open label, randomised clinical trial, we propose to explore the safety of low dose ACE inhibitor ie. Ramipril 1.25mg in renal donors post donation and their possible effects on arterial stiffness and measured GFR. We will measure GFR, aortic stiffness and FMD in donors, pre donation and post donation. After informed consent (as in Annexure 3), all clinical investigations will be recorded and within 14 days post nephrectomy, measured GFR, PVW and FMD will be assessed. Subjects will  be randomised into two groups with one receiving low dose Ramipril 1.25mg while other group serving s control with no medication. Subjects shall be reassessed after 6 months for any adverse effects and changes in measured GFR using Iohexol clearance, arterial stiffness using PWV and FMD. If a significant benefit of ACE inhibitor is documented on reducing aortic stiffness which is a surrogate marker of cardiovascular risk, than it will be worthwhile to prescribe ACE inhibitors routinely to all post renal donation patients.
