fibromuscular dysplasia/potassium

BACKGROUND Iliac arterial fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) was rarely reported and its demographic, clinical, and imaging features have not been precisely described resulting in uncertain therapeutic methods. UNASSIGNED A 31-year-old man was referred because of 3-month-ago onset hypertension, low serum

A 25-year-old female at 10 weeks of her first pregnancy abruptly developed severe hypertension as high as 230/160 mmHg and thus was referred to our hospital. Her past history was unremarkable and no medication or supplement was prescribed. The laboratory findings revealed that plasma renin activity

Clinical and angiographic characteristics of renovascular hypertension were studied in 95 patients. The patients were divided into 3 groups: 55 cases with aortic arteritis (group AA), 27 with fibromuscular dysplasia (group FMD) and 9 with atherosclerosis (group AS). The patients in group AS were

In a group of six patients diagnosed as having unilateral renovascular hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia, inulin glomerular filtration rate, (GFR) and PAH renal plasma flow, (RPF) clearances, urine flow (V), urine sodium (UVNa), potassium (UVK), urinary excretion of prostaglandin E2

Typical causes of renovascular hypertension include intramural atherosclerotic lesions of the main renal arteries or their branches and fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal arterial wall with luminal narrowing. We report a patient with new-onset, accelerated hypertension (blood pressure 220/140 mm
