Abstract:
Renal hypertension is found to be the cause in 5-15ft of patients with hypertension, and may be vascular or parenchymal in nature. Renal studies in diagnostic technique and vascular reconstructive techniques now enable successful management in many patients with renal hypertension. We experienced one case of renovascular hypertension due to renal vein hypoplasia. This rare renal venous hypertension has been diagnosed preoperatively and can be cured by nephrectomy, so we reported this case with brief review of the literature.
