During the last few years, renal hypertension has become a subject
of increasing importance. The development of improved radiological
techniques, notably intravenous and intra-arterial digital
subtraction angiography, has made the diagnosis of renal artery
stenosis more reliable, while advances in vascular surgery and the
introduction of percutaneous trans luminal angioplasty have caused
major changes in clinical practice. The increasing use of such
potent antihypertensive agents as the angiotensin I converting
enzyme inhibitors has empha sized the problem of renal artery
stenosis in older patients with wide spread vascular disease as
well as improving the prognosis of patients with accelerated
hypertension. This book examines the surgical and medical aspects
of renal hyper tension in the light of these recent advances. Each
chapter has been written by a recognized expert in the field and
provides information of relevance and practical importance to the
average clinician. The developments of the last decade have
emphasized that renal hyper tension is no longer a matter only for
the nephrologist but a subject on which all clinicians should be
well informed."
