[Fibrous dysplasia of renal arteries (terminology, classification, clinical aspects and diagnosis)].
The examination was conducted in 72 patients with renovascular hypertension caused by fibromuscle dysplasia of the renal arteries. According to the authors, fibromuscle dysplasia of the renal arteries stands third after atherosclerosis and non-specific aorto-arteritis. Among the preliminary diagnostic measures of importance are such as intravenous urography, isotope renography, scintigraphy, but their value is much lower than in cases of atherosclerotic stenosis or stenosis due to non-specific aorto-arteritis, which is attributed to a good collateral circulation in the kidney. The diagnosis is made on the basis of serial angiography data. Of importance is also the method of selective renal angiography with functional tests with acetylcholoine and adrenalin. To characterize the form of renal artery pathology, three types of stenosis are distinguished: monofocal, multifocal, tubular. The terminology and classification are discussed, and a new term is suggested: "fibrous dysplasia of renal arteries".
