[Prevalence and incidence of arterial hypertension in patients with kidney calculi treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy].
Follow-up studies were conducted on 806 patients to investigate the question of whether or not arterial hypertension can develop subsequent to ESWL. First of all, it was determined that 509 of 518 patients who were subjected to ESWL treatment from December 1985 to December 1986 still had normotension (n = 410) or hypertension (RR greater than or equal to, 160/95, n = 99) prior to and on an average of 9.3 months after ESWL. Six hypertensive patients became normotensive subsequent to ESWL. Only 1 patient developed hypertension following ESWL. Secondly, the 288 patients who were subjected to ESWL treatment from May 1982 to May 1984 revealed a 3.1% incidence of arterial hypertension within a period of 3.6 years following ESWL. This incidence, however, only illustrates that there was a pronounced age-related increase in the prevalence of hypertension (0.8% per year) in these study groups.
