RENOVASCULAR HYPERTENSION DUE TO NEUROFIBROMATOSIS

Renovascular hypertension due to Buerger's disease.

In a 42-year-old man with severe hypertension, stenosis of the left renal artery at its origin and occlusion of the abdominal aorta below the level of the renal arteries were observed. His past history and clinical and laboratory findings suggested that the renal artery stenosis was due to Buerger's disease which was reported to be a rare cause of renovascular hypertension.

Neurofibromatosis and renovascular hypertension presenting in early pregnancy.

Key words: neurofibromatosis; renovascular hyper-ochromocytoma but had not investigated the renal tension vasculature. She was subsequently lost to follow-up. Routine biochemistry and haematology were normal. There was no significant proteinuria. Subsequent investigations demonstrated normal

Renovascular Hypertension

The effect of hypertension and of therapy by converting enzyme inhibitor (S 9490-3, perindopril) on the function and structure of large arteries has been studied in two-kidney, one-clip Gddblatt hypertensive rats. After one month without treatment, clipped hypertensive rats (n = 24) and sham-operated rats (n = 24) were randomly allocated to treatment by S 9490,1 mg/kg once a day (n = 24) or to ...

Renovascular hypertension.

If only 1 per cent of the 23 million hypertensive patients in the United States had renovascular hypertension, many patients would be denied the chance for cure. Strong clinical suspicion plus arteriography are the mainstays of diagnosis. Positive renal vein renin studies provide the best preoperative evidence for cure by operation, but many patients with negative studies benefit from operation...
