[Nephrectomy in hypertensive unilateral nephropathies].
A nephrectomy has been performed on eight cases of hypertensive, unilateral nephropathies, in patients aged between 20 and 68, with a clear predominance of the female sex, namely 75% of the cases. The results were excellent and the patients maintained a normal tension for a very long period, about two years after the nephrectomy. The authors comment upon the means of diagnosis and treatment. They stress that the future of patients suffering from a unilateral, hypertensive nephrectomy depends upon the possibility of logical and correct surgery in order to prevent malignancy from developing.
