Hypertension Caused by Renal Arteriovenous Fistula
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case of secondary hypertension caused by renal arteriovenous fistula. An 8-year old girl was hospitalized with a severe headache, vomiting, and seizure. Renal angiography demonstrated multiple renal arteriovenous fistula and increased blood renin concentration in the left renal vein. Thus, left renal arteriovenous fistula and renin induced secondary hypertension were diagnosed. Her blood pressure was well controlled by medication with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.

Outcome of Kidney Allografts in Recipients With a Femoral Arteriovenous Fistula: Report of Two Cases
Two patients, who were on hemodialysis over a femoral arteriovenous fistula, were transplanted in our center. Despite adequate blood pressure, perfusion of the renal allograft remained poor after completion of the vascular anastomoses. Ligation of the femoral arteriovenous fistula (1.6 L/min) led to adequate perfusion. Initial graft function was good. Although it remains unclear whether ischemi...

Background: Hemodialysis is the sole way for management of patients with End Stage Renal Disorders (ESRD). Nowadays, inserting arteriovenous fistula is one of the most common methods for effective hemodialysis. Several factors have been reported for failure of arteriovenous fistulas such as diabetes, biochemical factors, low hemoglobin and increased level of blood calcium and phosphorus. Decisi...
متن کاملThree cases of hypertension and renal arteriovenous fistula with a de novo fistula.
The Renal Arteriovenous Fistula (RAVF) is a rare and potentially reversible cause of hypertension and kidney and/or heart failure. The treatment of RAVF aims at preserving the most of the renal parenchyma and, concomitantly, eradicating the symptoms and hemodynamic effects caused by the RAVF. The present study reports three cases of RAVF, including one case of a de novo idiopathic RAVF, which p...
