Renovascular hypertension

Kidney International, 1985
Renovascular hypertension is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Interest in identifying patients with renal artery stenosis has been stimulated recently by advances in three areas. First, is the realization that not only can renal artery stenosis cause renovascular hypertension, but it can also lead to progressive renal failure (ischemic ...

Natural History of Chronic Kidney Disease in Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 7, Page 1456-1477, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Kidney complications, referred to as nephropathy, develop early in sickle cell disease (SCD). In addition to its known morbidity, abundant data show that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased mortality risk in SCD. Increasing evidence suggests that the natural history of SCD nephropathy is progressive. Initial glomerular

Increased Expression of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptors in the Solitary-Vagal Complex Blunts Renovascular Hypertension

, 2014
Angiotensin II increases and decreases arterial pressure by acting at angiotensin type 1 and type 2 receptors, respectively. Renovascular hypertensive rats exhibit a high level of activity of the peripheral and central renin-angiotensin system. Therefore,
