Renovascular hypertension: a noninvasive screening approach using captopril renography.

BACKGROUND Noninvasive cost-effective screening of hypertensive patients for renovascular hypertension is a desirable approach to a rare disorder. Currently many patients are screened with angiography, which is both invasive and expensive. METHODS A MEDLINE search from 1985 through July 1994 using the key words "renovascular hypertension," "noninvasive," "screening" generated 16 references. W...

MR-based renography as a replacement for radionuclide diagnostic renography studies

Evaluation of patients with renovascular hypertension.

R ENOVASCULAR hypertension is the most prevalent form of surgically curable high blood pressure. Nevertheless, controversy surrounds the screening of patients and the choice of appropriate diagnostic workup. In testing for renovascular hypertension, differences of opinion can be anticipated in view of several dilemmas. First, renovascular hypertension is a retrospective diagnosis. A technically...
