title: [Diagnosis and therapy of renovascular hypertension].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  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.
  
  
  METHODS
  Nowadays, angioplasty or stenting have mostly replaced surgery in view of treatment of renovascular hypertension.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Renovascular hypertension, if diagnosed early, can be improved or cured in many cases regarding hypertension and/or renal insufficiency.
