Hypertension produced by renal artery occlusive disease is an important secondary form of hypertension. Clinicians commonly encounter forms of renal arterial disease of varying severity, many of which are of little hemodynamic significance when first detected. Experimental studies emphasize that transient activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is necessary for initiation of reno...

A 21-year-old female with a history of right nephrectomy due to trauma presented several years multi-drug resistant hypertension. Her workup included negative autoimmune and vasculitidies panels urine catecholamines. Computed tomography imaging showed an acute hairpin turn her left renal artery. Intra-operatively, the artery demonstrated kinking exhalation. She underwent excision diseased porti...

The increased success achieved with cadaveric transplantation makes it unethical to consider using a kidney from a young live donor, especially from a woman in the reproductive period of life. There may still occasionally be circumstances in which a kidney from a parent could reasonably be used, especially if the parent is old enough not to have responsibility for a young family. It is complete...

Renovascular hypertension is counted among the surgically curable hypertensions, and occupies from 5 to 20per cent of all hypertensions (UENO et al. 1965). Its mechanism is the same as the Goldblatt hypertension (GOLDBLATT et al. 1934), whose vascular lesion can gradually advance, until it becomes refractory to all surgical procedures, if it is left untreated. These circumstances will be greatl...

These findings led to the clinical recognition of renovascular hypertension, the application of surgery for its relief and the elucidation of the role of the renin-angiotensin system in the physiology of health and the pathogenesis of disease. In the 45 years since Goldblatt's publication on the experimental induction of renovascular hypertension, overwhelmingly conclusive evidence has confirme...

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

Antihypertensive effect of long-term oral administration of jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum) collagen peptides (JCP) on renovascular hypertension rats (RVHs) was evaluated. The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the RVHs were significantly reduced with administration of JCP (p < 0.05), compared with model control group. However, the arterial blood pressure of normal rats sh...
