The renal compression syndrome.
A clinical example of perirenal compression producing documented renin-mediated hypertension is presented. The pathophysiology of this disorder is discussed as it relates to renin release mechanisms. In the future, recognition of the renal compression syndrome may obviate needless nephrectomies since simple removal of the source of compression should result in the cure of hypertension.
