Comparison of aortography, renal vein renin sampling, radionuclide scans, ultrasound and the IVU in the investigation of childhood renovascular hypertension

Abstract

Results of investigations of all patients who underwent renal arteriography for hypertension due to renovascular disease over a 3.25 yr period prior to Jan. 1, 1981 are reviewed and discussed. The experience gained has helped demonstrate the usefulness of DMSA [diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid] scans, segmental renal vein renin estimations, and AP [antero-posterior] and oblique selective renal arteriograms with macroradiography.
