Materials and Methods: Hypertension (HT) remains a major public health problem. The estimated incidence in 2023 among 30-79-year-olds is around 1.28 billion. Kidney disease (KD) and HT are intrinsically linked and severely affect each other. Narrowing of the renal artery, mainly due to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia, causes an elevation in renal and systemic blood pressure (BP). Despite the combined use of 3 different classes of antihypertensive drugs, the mean blood pressure sometimes remains ≥ 140/90 mm Hg. In these cases, which are called resistant HT, surgical methods such as bypass grafting and endarterectomy or angioplasty with or withou.. Read More»
