[Kidney function after reconstructive operations on the renal arteries in renovascular hypertension].
A total of 117 patients with renovascular hypertension operated upon by employing reconstructive surgery upon renal arteries for producing hypotensive effect and restoration of renal functions were examined. Examination was made before surgery, in the near (up to 6 months) and remote post-operative periods (after a lapse of up to 10 years time). Soon after the operation persistent normalization of the arterial pressure was recorded in 78 (67 per cent) of 117 patients, improvement supervened in 12 per cent of the cases, and a positive hypotensive effect could be achieved in 92 or 79 per cent of the patients. The immediate normalization and improvement in the evolution of arterial hypertension continue, as a rule, also late after surgery. Following reconstructive operations on the renal arteries with normalized arterial pressure or its improvement the great majority of the patients demonstrated re-establishment or a significant improvement of both the summary (filtration, concentration and even nitrogen-excretory) and individual renal functions (as shown by the results of radioisotope renography with I131 hippuranium and excretory urography. In patients with malignant course of arterial hypertension successful reconstructive surgery was followed by a tendency toward retrograde development of the arterial hypertension malignancy.
