Clinical Conference Pathophysiology of Renovascular Hypertension Principal Discussant

چکیده
Renovascular hypertension has its experimental counterpart in the two-kidney, one clip model (Goldblatt hypertension). From the study of this model, a general pathophysiological scheme has evolved suggesting that temporal stages in the development and maintenance of hypertension are regulated by complicated hormonal and neural interrelations. The central roles played by the renin-angiotensin system and the renal nerves is discussed as they relate to other hormones. In addition, the possible contribution of converting enzyme inhibitors to understanding the pathophysiology of this condition is discussed. (Hypertension 1991;17:707-719)

متن کاملClinical Conference Pathophysiology and Management of Hypertension in Acute Ischemic Stroke Principal Discussant
Hypertension, defined in different ways by various investigators over a period of many years, has been shown to be a major risk factor for stroke.In fact, the strength of the evidence suggests that hypertension causes stroke. But by what mechanisms? The value of treating chronic hypertension to prevent stroke is well established, but what should be done about blood pressure elevations in the se...
متن کاملCurrent opinions in renovascular hypertension.
Renal artery stenosis and renovascular hypertension are important considerations in patients with hypertension that is difficult to control. The diagnosis may also have prognostic significance for progressive renal disease. The most common causes of renal artery stenosis are atherosclerotic disease and fibromuscular dysplasia. The pathophysiology of renal artery stenosis is reviewed, and the pr...
متن کاملIntracardiac Thrombus in Renovascular Hypertension: A Case Report
Thromboembolism is a rare complication of primary nephortic syndrome. Both venous and arterial thrombosis might occur in steroid responsive and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. This is the report of an infant with nephrotic syndrome and renovascular hypertension, complicated with asymptomatic intracardiac thrombus and managed appropriately with medical treatment.
متن کاملNew Insights Into Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Renovascular Hypertension.
Renovascular disease includes renal artery stenosis, renovascular hypertension, and azotemic renovascular disease (ischemic nephropathy). Renovascular hypertension is defined as an elevated blood pressure caused by renal hypoperfusion, usually resulting from anatomic stenosis of the renal artery and activation of the renin-angiotensin system. It accounts for 1% to 2 % of all cases of hypertensi...
