Key result
Severe ipsilateral tubular atrophy and interstitial scarring on renal biopsy was inversely correlated with the reduction of elevated arterial pressure following renal revascularization.
Why the study?
Do pathologic parameters on renal biopsy predict the blood pressure response to renal revascularization in patients with unilateral renovascular hypertension?
Population
15 patients with unilateral renal arterial hypertension

Biopsy findings should not guide revascularization decisions; single case leaves predictive value of histopathology unresolved.

Do pathologic parameters on renal biopsy predict the blood pressure response to renal revascularization in patients with unilateral renovascular hypertension?
Severe ipsilateral tubular atrophy and interstitial scarring on renal biopsy predict a poor blood pressure response to renal revascularization in unilateral renovascular hypertension.
Barajas et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Unilateral renal arterial hypertension (n=15). Severe ipsilateral tubular atrophy and interstitial scarring was evaluated on Reduction of elevated arterial pressure after renal revascularization. Severe ipsilateral tubular atrophy and interstitial scarring on renal biopsy was inversely correlated with the reduction of elevated arterial pressure following renal revascularization.
