title: [Renal hypertension in aortic stenosis].
abstract: Report of the clinical, biochemical, hemodynamic and x-ray data of a girl, 16 years of age, who had a narrowing of the abdominal aorta (diaphragmatic type). The stenosis was proximal to the renal arteries and was associated with unobtainable arterial pressure in the lower extremities and with hypertension in the arms. Although mechanical factors seemed to play the primary role in the production of hypertension, a further important factor inducing hypertension was the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosteron-system caused by reduced renal circulation.
