What are the best preoperative criteria to predict the surgical curability of renovascular hypertension?
Preoperative clinical and roentgenologic criteria, particularly urinary creatinine/inulin concentration and plasma renin activity, can predict the surgical curability of renovascular hypertension with 80-85% accuracy.
Fournier et al. (1971) conducted an observational in Renovascular hypertension (n=43). Preoperative clinical and roentgenologic criteria was evaluated on Correct prediction of surgical results on hypertension. A combination of preoperative clinical and roentgenologic criteria provided correct prediction of surgical curability in 80 to 85% of patients with renovascular hypertension.
