Spectrum of angiographically demonstrable renal pathology in young hypertensive patients.
The renal diseases which cause systemic hypertension in the first two decades of life differ from the adult in their incidence and etiology. Seventeen patients (11 days to 20 years old), studied angiographically, demonstrated a wide spectrum of renal pathology including arterial thrombosis, fibromuscular hyperplasia, vasculitis, neurofibramatosis, cystic disease, pyelonephritis, Page kidney, and congenital anomalies.
