Clinical Aspects of Renovascular Hypertension

Part of the book series: Developments in Surgery ((DISU,volume 4))

Abstract

Renal artery stenosis is the most common type of potentially curable hypertension. Renal artery stenosis, however, may be incidental and not responsible for the elevated blood pressure in patients with hypertension. It is important, therefore, to differentiate between renovascular disease and renovascular hypertension(1). Renovascular disease is defined as the presence of stenotic lesion(s) of a main or segmental renal artery demonstrable by arteriography or at the time of surgery. Renovascular hypertension is defined retrospectively as arterial hypertension which responds favorably, i.e., cured or benefited, to operative or angioplastic treatment of renovascular disease. The goal of diagnostic tests is to make a prospective diagnosis of renovascular hypertension, i.e., select the patients who will be benefited by correction of the renal artery stenosis.
