Diagnostic role of radionuclide renography in patients with renovascular hypertension
Background. Arterial hypertension due to the pathology of the renal artery, according to recent years, is observed in 10–15 % of patients with hypertensive disease; in 30 % of patients, it has a nephrogenic origin. The purpose was to investigate the role
