Renal artery stenosis is a progressive disease, more than half of all high-grade stenoses progress to occlusion within only 2 years [1, 2]. A recent publication in the New England Journal of Medicine has stressed the fact that renal artery stenosis with the consequences of stenosisinduced hypertension and chronic renal failure represents only a small entity among a number of overlapping disease...

In patients with fibromuscular dysplasia and renal artery stenosis, renal artery revascularization has been used to cure hypertension or to improve blood pressure control. To provide an up-to-date assessment of the benefits and risks associated with revascularization in this condition, we performed a systematic review of studies in which hypertensive patients with fibromuscular dysplasia renal ...

BACKGROUND Increased prevalence of various vascular diseases is common in type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the increased prevalence of renal artery atheroma resulting in renal artery stenosis in patients with diabetes mellitus has not been fully assessed. We used magnetic resonance angiography to assess the prevalence of renal artery stenosis in a group of patients with hypertension and type ...

Renin activity in renal vein plasma was measured in six normal subjects and 59 hypertensive patients. The average renin value in renal venous plasma in normal subjects was the same as that found in patients with essential hypertension and renal parenchymal hypertension. Renal venous renin levels were markedly elevated in patients with significant renal lesions who were improved by surgery but w...
