Renovascular hypertension in China--report of 200 cases.
Renal arteritis and fibromuscular dysplasia are two common causes of renovascular hypertension in China. The diagnostic approach now is arteriography or digital subtraction arteriography first, followed by renal vein renin assays to evaluate the functional significance. Surgical treatment is preferred if clinical status of the patients permits.
