Renovascular Hypertension

Treatment & Monitoring

What are the treatments for the disease?

Treatments include:

high blood pressure medicine

angioplasty, which is a nonsurgical procedure to unclog a blocked artery

stenting, a procedure that places a mesh tube into an artery to make it wider and hold it open for better blood flow

surgery

What happens after treatment for the disease?

It is most important to bring the blood pressure down to a normal level and to control any kidney disease. Blockage in the arteries may recur, and angioplasty or stenting may have to be done again.

How is the disease monitored?

Regular follow-up visits with the doctor will be needed to check blood pressure and kidney function.
