Renal vein renin ratio. Predictive value in renal and renovascular hypertension
Abstract
Renal vein renin ratios were determined in hypertensive patients, 19 with renal artery stenosis, 7 with renal artery occlusion and 13 with unilateral renal hypoplasia. Twenty-one of these patients were treated surgically. Renal vein renin ratios of greater than or equal to 1.5 were associated with high frequency of operative success, but ratios less than 1.5 by no means excluded good surgical results.
