  • Title: Renal artery occlusion and malignant hypertension in polycystic kidney disease.
    Author: Traub YM, Rosenfeld JB.
    Journal: J Urol; 1980 Aug; 124(2):279-80. PubMed ID: 7401247.
    Abstract:
    A patient with polycystic kidneys is presented, in whom obliteration of a renal artery led to the development of high renin malignant hypertension. During chronic hemodialysis 3 years later the patient had normal renin values and the blood pressure became volume-dependent. It is concluded that the occurrence of malignant hypertension and/or elevated renin values in patients with polycystic kidney disease should lead to the search for a coexisting renal artery stenosis or occlusion.
