Renal Artery Stenosis Secondary to Cytomegalovirus Infection in an Infant
Key Points
Investigate the association between renal artery stenosis and cytomegalovirus infection in infants.
Case report detailing clinical presentation and diagnosis of renal artery stenosis
Assessment of the patient's medical history for infectious causes
Analysis of hypertension arising from renal complications
Renal artery stenosis identified as resulting from cytomegalovirus infection
Hypertension observed in the infant as a complication
Highlighting a rare relationship between CMV and vascular abnormalities in young patients
Abstract
Renal artery stenosis is an uncommon cause of secondary hypertension in infants and is rarely related to infectious etiologies such as cytomegalovirus (CMV).
