Relevant diagnostic procedures in renovascular hypertension. 1976

J Rosenthal, and I Arlart, and A S Nadjafi, and J Vollmar, and H E Franz

The validity of invasive preoperative diagnostic procedures in patients with unilateral renovascular hypertension was assessed. A significant lowering of blood pressure following reconstructive surgery can be predicted if following stimulation with Dihydralazine the renal-venous renin ratio of the involved to the noninvolved kidney is at least 2.0. Furthermore, it is of importance to determine the renal perfusion rate in the contralateral non-stenotic kidney which should be within normal limits. If these two criteria are met then in the majority of cases surgical intervention in unilateral hypertension is meaningful.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006977 Hypertension, Renal Persistent high BLOOD PRESSURE due to KIDNEY DISEASES, such as those involving the renal parenchyma, the renal vasculature, or tumors that secrete RENIN. Hypertensions, Renal,Renal Hypertension,Renal Hypertensions
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012039 Regional Blood Flow The flow of BLOOD through or around an organ or region of the body. Blood Flow, Regional,Blood Flows, Regional,Flow, Regional Blood,Flows, Regional Blood,Regional Blood Flows
D012078 Renal Artery Obstruction Narrowing or occlusion of the RENAL ARTERY or arteries. It is due usually to ATHEROSCLEROSIS; FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA; THROMBOSIS; EMBOLISM, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension (HYPERTENSION, RENOVASCULAR). Renal Artery Stenosis,Obstruction, Renal Artery,Obstructions, Renal Artery,Renal Artery Obstructions,Renal Artery Stenoses,Stenoses, Renal Artery,Stenosis, Renal Artery
D012082 Renal Veins Short thick veins which return blood from the kidneys to the vena cava. Renal Vein,Vein, Renal,Veins, Renal
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19. Angiotensin-Forming Enzyme,Angiotensinogenase,Big Renin,Cryorenin,Inactive Renin,Pre-Prorenin,Preprorenin,Prorenin,Angiotensin Forming Enzyme,Pre Prorenin,Renin, Big,Renin, Inactive
D001794 Blood Pressure PRESSURE of the BLOOD on the ARTERIES and other BLOOD VESSELS. Systolic Pressure,Diastolic Pressure,Pulse Pressure,Pressure, Blood,Pressure, Diastolic,Pressure, Pulse,Pressure, Systolic,Pressures, Systolic
D004078 Dihydralazine 1,4-Dihydrazinophthalazine. An antihypertensive agent with actions and uses similar to those of HYDRALAZINE. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p354) Depressan,Dihydralazine Sulfate,Dihydrallazine,Dihydrazinophthalazin,Sulfate, Dihydralazine
