Renal Hypertension Treatment in India
About Renal Hypertension
Key Highlights
-
Targeted treatment addresses the root cause of hypertension, not just the symptoms.Helps preserve long-term kidney function and prevent chronic kidney disease.Can reduce or eliminate the need for multiple antihypertensive medications.Lowers the risk of serious cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.Involves a specialized, patient-centered approach from a kidney specialist.
Who is this surgery for?
- Sudden onset or worsening of high blood pressure, especially after age 55 or before age 30.
- Hypertension that is resistant to treatment with three or more medications.
- Unexplained worsening of kidney function (rising creatinine).
- Presence of an abdominal bruit (whooshing sound heard over the kidneys with a stethoscope).
- Recurrent episodes of sudden fluid buildup in the lungs (flash pulmonary edema).
- Significant difference in size or function between the two kidneys on imaging.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical history review and physical examination with the nephrologist.
- Undergo baseline blood tests (creatinine, electrolytes) and urine tests to assess kidney function.
- May need to temporarily adjust or stop certain medications, especially blood thinners, as directed.
- Fast for several hours before any planned imaging or interventional procedures.
- Discuss all allergies, especially to iodine contrast used in some imaging tests.
- Arrange for transportation home if a sedative is used during a procedure.
Risks & possible complications
- Allergic reaction or kidney damage from contrast dye used in imaging (contrast-induced nephropathy).
- Bleeding, infection, or pain at the catheter insertion site for interventional procedures.
- Injury to the renal artery, which could worsen kidney function or blood pressure.
- Restenosis (re-narrowing) of the treated artery after angioplasty or stenting.
- Cholesterol plaque embolism, a rare complication where plaque debris travels and blocks smaller blood vessels.
- Failure of the procedure to adequately control blood pressure.
Recovery & hospital stay
- After diagnostic imaging, most patients can resume normal activities the same or next day.
- If an angioplasty/stent is placed, rest is required for 24-48 hours, avoiding heavy lifting.
- Monitor the catheter site for signs of bleeding, swelling, or infection.
- Drink plenty of fluids to help flush contrast dye from the kidneys.
- Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor blood pressure and kidney function.
- Adhere strictly to prescribed medications and lifestyle recommendations (diet, exercise).

Myra Sharma, a 58-year-old retired school...
Myra Sharma, a 58-year-old retired school principal, had always been health-conscious. Despite a balanced diet and daily walks, her blood pressure remained stubbornly high for over a year, requiring three different medications. Her primary care doctor noticed a slight decline in her kidney function on routine blood tests. Referred to nephrologist Dr. Kapoor, further tests revealed a significant narrowing in her left renal artery. Dr. Kapoor explained that this renal artery stenosis was causing her kidneys to trigger high blood pressure (renovascular hypertension) and that a procedure called renal angioplasty with stenting could help. Myra was anxious about an arterial procedure but trusted her doctor. The angioplasty went smoothly; a tiny balloon opened the narrowed artery, and a stent was placed to keep it open. In recovery, she felt only mild groin discomfort. Within weeks, her blood pressure improved dramatically, allowing her to reduce her medication burden. Emotionally, she shifted from feeling frustrated and defeated by her uncontrollable hypertension to empowered and relieved, grateful for a targeted solution that addressed the root cause.
