Abstract
Hypertension in children often is curable surgically. In many instances the causative lesion will be segmental and either vascular or parenchymal. We report on 5 children with a segmental lesion in whom the elevated segmental renal vein renins correctly predicted cure of the hypertension following partial nephrectomy.Keywords
