[Hypertension and nephroptosis].
Renal diseases have been recognized as both a cause and a consequence of hypertension. Orthostatic renal hypertension is caused by ischemia resulting from elongation, twisting and angulation of renal vessels when a hypermobile kidney is present. Recent observation of a 22-year-old woman in whom orthostatic renal hypertension was cured by nephropexy prompted this report. Clinical manifestations, diagnosis and therapy of this condition are also discussed.
