About Renal Hypertension

Renal hypertension, also known as renovascular hypertension, is a condition where high blood pressure is caused by narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys. This procedure, managed by a nephrologist, involves a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to identify and treat the underlying renal cause of hypertension. The process typically includes advanced imaging studies like renal artery duplex ultrasound, CT angiography, or magnetic resonance angiography to assess blood flow. Treatment may involve medication management, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, interventional procedures like renal artery angioplasty and stenting to restore proper blood flow. The goal is to control blood pressure, preserve kidney function, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

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).
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-2 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sukanya was different. She actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story, asked about things no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something quite rare. She explained it to me in plain Tamil, drew a little diagram on her notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and finally had a path forward.
