Abstract

Renal hypertension is found to be the cause in 5-15% of patients with hypertension, and may be vascular or renal parenchymal in nature. Recent advances in diagnostic technique and vascular reconstructive techniques now enable successful management in many patients with renal hypertension. We observed one case of renovascular hypertension due to right renal hypoplasia and left renal arterial stenosis, in 22 year-old female patient with complaints of headache and dizziness for 10 days. The treatment was done by right nephrectomy and left aortorenal bypass procedure with saphenous vin. Herein we reported a case of renovascular hypertension with a review of the literatures.
