Renovascular hypertension as a secondary form of hypertension can be improved or cured in many cases by interventional radiology or vascular surgery.


BACKGROUND
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and the development of hypertension are linked in renovascular hypertension.


METHODS
Early clinical symptoms are of special interest in diagnosing renovascular hypertension.
