Renovascular hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia is an uncommon cause of secondary hypertension and is more common in females. This entity is an important treatable cause of secondary hypertension.
We report the case of a 21-year-old asymptomatic male found to have high blood pressure on routine checkup. Renal angiogram revealed fibromuscular dysplasia involving the right renal artery. He underwent percutaneous angioplasty with complete recovery. The single antihypertensive which he was on was stopped next month.
Fibromuscular dysplasia causing stenosis of renal artery is uncommon. High degree of suspicion is required for the timely diagnosis and treatment of this potentially treatable cause of secondary hypertension.
纤维肌性发育异常所致的肾血管性高血压是继发性高血压的一种罕见病因,在女性中更为常见。该病症是继发性高血压的一个重要可治疗病因。
我们报告一例21岁无症状男性病例,其在常规体检时发现患有高血压。肾血管造影显示右肾动脉纤维肌性发育异常。他接受了经皮血管成形术并完全康复。下个月停用了他正在服用的单一降压药。
导致肾动脉狭窄的纤维肌性发育异常并不常见。对于这种继发性高血压的潜在可治疗病因,需要高度怀疑以实现及时诊断和治疗。
