Renal artery stenosis in hypertensive renal transplant recipients. 1977

O Lindfors, and L Laasonen, and F Fyhrquist, and B Kock, and B Lindström

Reconstruction of a stenotic renal artery was done on 5 hypertensive renal transplant recipients, all of whom had deterioration of renal function when the stenosis was detected. After reconstruction renal function improved in 4 of the patients. The blood pressure was easier to control in all 5 patients, with 3 becoming normotensive. A high preoperative plasma renin activity returned to normal postoperatively in 4 patients. No recurrences were observed after a followup of more than a year.

D012077 Renal Artery A branch of the abdominal aorta which supplies the kidneys, adrenal glands and ureters. Arteries, Renal,Artery, Renal,Renal Arteries
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).

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.
