Renovascular hypertension - what does this mean

Renovascular hypertension is a form of hypertension caused by narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys, leading to an increase in blood pressure. this narrowing is usually caused by atherosclerosis, a hardening of the arteries due to buildup of fatty deposits. the narrowing of the arteries restricts the blood flow to the kidneys, resulting in an increased release of hormones that cause the blood vessels to constrict, leading to an increase in blood pressure.

What happens during the disease - renovascular hypertension

Renovascular hypertension is a form of high blood pressure caused by narrowing or blockage of the renal arteries, which supply blood to the kidneys. this narrowing or blockage can be caused by atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, or other conditions. when the renal arteries are narrowed or blocked, the kidneys are not able to regulate blood pressure, resulting in high blood pressure. in some cases, the narrowing or blockage can be treated with angioplasty or stenting, but in other cases, medications may be necessary to control the hypertension.
