[Dissecting arterial disease of the renal vessels as a cause of hypertension].
With modern specific diagnostic studies like isotope renography, angiotensin-infusion-test, peripheral venous renin assay, comparative assays of the renin activity in the individual renal veins, and angiography the renal and renovascular causes for hypertension become more and more significant. When it has been shown that the hypertension is caused by a constriction of the renal arteries, instant operative therapy is indicated. The rare case of a dissectioning arteriopathy of the renal arterial wall causing hypertonia is described.
