Cp 47 Renovascular HPN Flashcards
refers to rise in arterial pressure definitely induced by reduced renal perfusion
Renovascular HPN
pressure gradient between aorta and poststenotic renal artery required before measurable renin release occurs
At least 10-20mmhg
luminal obstruction “critical” lesions before hemodynamic effects can be detected
70-80%
Hypertension not ANG II dependent
Bilateral RAS or solitary kidney
Effects of blockade of RAS in Unilateral RAS
- Reduced arterial pressure
- Enhanced lateralization of diagnostic tests
- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in stenotic kidney may fall
effect of bloacled of RAS in bilateral RAS
- Reduced arterial pressure only after volume depletion
- May lower GFR
Plasma renin elevated
Unilateral or bilateral RAS?
Unilateral RAS
Explain the adaptive mechanism to reduced renal perfusion
What happens to the cortical? Medulla?
Reduced blood flow —> collaterals develop
Chronic reduced BF in medulla—> activate adaptive maintenance of tissue perfusion
More severe—> oberwhelm adaptive mechanisms—> cortical hypoxia —> tubular atrophy (due to necrosis and apoptosis)
Tubular atrophy can be reversible (“hibernating state”)
Reduced blood flow a tivated numerous pathways of vascular and toasue injury including increase in?
ANG II
ET
Oxidative stress
What happens to the Nitric oxide in reduced perfusion?
How about ANG II?
Reduced perfusion leads to diminished shear stress distal to the stenosis —> decrease NO production post stenosis and inc ANG II and TXA—> intrarenal vasoconstriction
A direct consequence of reduced perfusion in the postetonic kidney (histo)
Progressive rarefaction—> tubular collapse
Late event and usually reflects severe loss of the GFR
Glomerulosclerosis
No-reflow phenomenon
Worsen during reperfusion phase
Reflect vascular damage and Acitvation of leukocytes - primed to obstruct distal capilliaries
Is a risk facor for disease progression of FMD
Smoking
What is rhe most common subtype of FMD ?
Appearance?
Medial fibroplasia
String of beads
