Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the imaging findings of common and uncommon causes of renin-mediated hypertension in children using a multimodality radiologic approach.
Conclusion: Pediatric hypertension, although uncommon, is often due to aortic or renal artery narrowing. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and characterization of pediatric renin-mediated causes of hypertension.

Two-hit mouse model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction combining diet-induced obesity and renin-mediated hypertension.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly common but its pathogenesis is poorly understood. The ability to assess genetic and pharmacologic interventions is hampered by the lack of robust preclinical mouse models of HFpEF. We developed a novel "two-hit" model, which combines obesity and insulin resistance with chronic pressure overload to recapitulate clinical features of HFpEF.

Background: Renin-dependent hypertension with tubulointerstitial injury remains a problem with high prevalence in the clinic. However, whether and how renin participates in tubulointerstitial injury remains incompletely understood. New evidence suggests that renin cleaves C3 into C3a and C3b.

Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is an autosomal dominant disease resulting from elastin (ELN) haploinsufficiency. Individuals with SVAS typically develop a thickened arterial media with an increased number of elastic lamellae and smooth muscle cell (SMC) layers and stenosis superior to the aortic valve. A mouse model of SVAS (Eln) was generated that recapitulates many aspects of the human disease, including increased medial SMC layers and elastic lamellae, large artery stiffness, and hypertension.

Introduction And Importance: Hypertensive crisis may be a life-threatening condition to any patient and represents an even more serious condition in trauma patients following severe hemorrhage.
Case Presentation: We present a case were surgical drape packing induced hypertensive crisis in a trauma patient, recently resuscitated from abdominal hemorrhage.
Clinical Discussion: We argue that direct compression of the kidney by the surgical drapes induced hypersecretion of renin with a mechanism equal to Page kidney.
