In theory, negative urographic findings in severe hypertension exclude a renovascular origin. However, when both renal arteries are dysplastic urography may remain perfectly normal even though arteriography demonstrates tight stenoses and these patients are cured by surgical treatment. In the case reported here the only clinical sign of stenotic renal arteries was a systolic murmur on auscultation of the abdomen.

The question of strains in AA amyloidosis.

The existence of transmissible amyloid fibril strains has long intrigued the scientific community. The strain theory originates from prion disorders, but here, we provide evidence of strains in systemic amyloidosis. Human AA amyloidosis manifests as two distinct clinical phenotypes called common AA and vascular AA.

Objectives: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been associated with a prothrombotic state. CKD affects hemostasis through altered platelet function and coagulation factors. Traditional tests provide limited insight into these changes.

Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of GNRI on clinical outcomes following EVT in CLTI regarding the severities of RD.
Methods: We enrolled 705 consecutive CLTI cases treated with EVT between January 2010 and December 2019 at our hospital.

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disease of medium-sized arteries that causes abnormal cellular growth in arterial walls and most commonly affects young to middle-aged women (20-50 years of age). While FMD often involves the renal arteries, it can affect any arterial bed. FMD has a characteristic angiographic appearance of a "string of beads.

School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK.
Renal ischaemia due to renal artery stenosis produces two differing responses - a juxtaglomerular hypertensive response and cortical renal dysfunction. The reversibility of renal impairment is not predictable, and thus renal revascularisation is controversial. This study aims to test the hypothesis that the hypertensive response to renal ischaemia reflects viable renal parenchyma, and thus could be used to predict the recovery in renal function.
