| Publisher Description: Diagnostic and therapeutic methods and controversies in the management of renovascular hypertension have undergone major ch- ges during the past few years. This book is based on the proceedings of a successful postgraduate Boerhaave Course held in 1982 at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Leiden, The Netherlands. Current concepts concerning the diagnosis and treatment of reno- vascular hypertension were presented during this course to an audience composed of physicians, nephrologists, cardiologists, surgeons, uro- logists, and radiologists. Thus, this book aims at offering an overview of tho, se aspects of renovascular hypertension which are relevant to clinical pr- tice. An effort is made to review the currently available moda- lities of diagnostic procedures, both on the basis of modern in- sights in the pathology and pathophysiology of renovascular hyper- tension, as well as timely r'esul ts of clinical research. In ad- dition, several chapters deal with combinations of these di- nostic procedures in a fashion that can be of practical help in clin;cal decision making. The medical, surgical and angioplastic modalities of treatment are reviewed. Basic considerations concerning medical treatment and technical aspects of surgical as well as per- cutaneous angioplasty are presented in detail, both separately and in combination. Special attention is given to the problem of renal artery stenosjs in k dney transplants. This book offers up to date information on clinical aspects of renovascular hypertension, useful to a wide range of clinicians in a variety of disciplines. |
