SIX-YEAR FOLLOWUP OF NEONATAL RENOVASCULAR (NRH) HYPERTENSION

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...

Angioplasty for pediatric renovascular hypertension: a 13-year experience.

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome and efficacy of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) for pediatric renal artery stenosis (RAS), which is an important cause of medication-refractory pediatric hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 22 hypertensive children (age range, 3-17 years) who underwent PTRA from February 2000 to July 2012. Sixte...

Systemic and renovascular hypertension.

To ascertain the contribution of systemic hypertension in the progression of renal failure, we have studied the effects of pharmacological treatment of hypertension in rats with the remnant kidney model of renal insufficiency, streptozotocin diabetes, or nephrotoxic serum nephritis. Treatment with the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor enalapril lowered systemic blood pressure in the...
