Open Partial Nephrectomy for Pediatric Renovascular Hypertension

The Scientific World Journal, 2009
Pediatric renovascular hypertension is typically managed with revascularization, angioplasty, or radical nephrectomy. We describe the case of a 13-year-old boy with medically refractory renovascular hypertension who presented to our institution after a ...

Central Inhibition of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Reduces Hypertension by Attenuating Oxidative Stress in the Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla in Renovascular Hypertensive Rats

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Inflammation in the central nervous system is being considered a key player linked to neurogenic hypertension. Using combined in vivo and in vitro approaches, we investigated the effects of central inhibition of TNF-α on blood pressure, sympathetic tone,

Renovascular hypertension

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1993
Renovascular disease, particularly when associated with atherosclerosis, is a common cofactor in accelerating hypertension and deteriorating renal function. With increased longevity and effective antihypertensive medications, the prevalence of vascular lesions affecting renal viability is increasing, possibly accounting for 15% of end-stage renal ...
