ORTHOSTATIC RENAL ARTERIOGRAPHY.
Orthostatic renal arteriography has served to provide better delineation of the renal arteries, to better define stenotic lesions of these vessels and to point to a possible relationship between excessive renal mobility and the development of mural hyperplasias of the renal artery. It is suggested that where facilities permit, orthostatic renal arteriography be employed as a method of obtaining a better understanding of renal artery architecture and function in patients who are being studied for secondary hypertension.
