Renovascular Hypertension treatment in Ciudad Mendoza

Renovascular hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that originates from a narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys. That reduction in flow activates mechanisms that raise pressure throughout the body.

Common causes: it is usually associated with hardening of the arteries from fatty plaques or with other alterations of the arterial wall that reduce its caliber.

Signs that may point to it: high blood pressure that is difficult to control, that appears at an unusual age, or that is accompanied by kidney involvement may suggest this origin.

Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist studies the effect on the kidneys, while the angiologist and the vascular surgeon evaluate the arteries; the internist helps coordinate comprehensive management. If your blood pressure isn't responding as expected, it's a good idea to raise it with a professional to investigate the underlying cause.
