An arteriographic assessment of renal vasculature in young patients with essential hypertension.
Twenty-five patients below the age of 40 years with Uncomplicated hypertension underwent selective renal arteriography to assess the involvement of interlobar and arcuate arteries. Renal vasculature was abnormal in all 25 patients. Patients with severe hypertension had markedly abnormal renal vasculature. None of the patients with mild hypertension had severe vascular involvement. Functional significance of these arteriographic abnormalities is discussed.
