Intravascular Renal Denervation in Renal Dialysis Patients with Uncontrolled Hypertension: A Case Series of Four Patients.

BACKGROUND Hypertension is a common complication of renal dialysis and is inadequately controlled in approximately one-third of patients. Intravascular renal denervation is an option to control sympathetic overdrive and decrease blood pressure. Four renal dialysis patients are presented with uncontrolled hypertension who were treated with intravascular renal denervation.

A 26-year-old man had an end-stage renal disease because of a neurogenic urinary bladder with a vesicourinary reflux. The first kidney transplant was lost in consequence of chronic allograft nephropathy. Immunosuppressive medication was withdrawn and transplantectomy was performed in November 2010.
