Renal fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is one of the rare cardiovascular conditions affecting the kidneys at very young ages. The exact pathophysiology is still not known and is one of the causes of resistant hypertension in young patients. Severe forms of FMD such as those involving bilateral renal arteries are very few reported in the literature. In this case, we report a severe form of FMD resulting in the rapid progression of chronic kidney diseases in a young patient which results in requirement of renal replacement therapy.
肾纤维肌发育不良(FMD)是一种罕见的心血管疾病,在非常年轻的患者中影响肾脏。确切的病理生理学仍不清楚,是年轻患者顽固性高血压的原因之一。文献中报道的严重形式的FMD,如累及双侧肾动脉的情况非常少。在本病例中,我们报告了一例严重的FMD,导致一名年轻患者的慢性肾脏病迅速进展,最终需要肾脏替代治疗。
