The purpose of the study was to compare the positive and negative predictive values of
conventional renography (Reno-A), captopril renography (Reno-B) and ultrasound Doppler …

Detection of a renal artery stenosis (RAS) as a cause of arterial hypertension is of great
practical importance because dilatation of the stenosis frequently results in an improvement …

A practical indication that a patient needs additional work-up for diagnosing renal artery
stenosis is the presence of drug-resistant hypertension. In such patients the prevalence of …

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this prospective study was to determine the clinical
usefulness of captopril renal scintigraphy and duplex Doppler sonography in detecting …

Renovascular hypertension resulting from renal artery stenosis is a potentially curable form
of secondary hypertension. Although uncommon in the general hypertensive population, the …

To improve the diagnosis and forecast the response to surgery or renal angioplasty in
patients with hypertension and renal artery stenosis, we employed a simplified captopril …

Abstract purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and
clinical usefulness of renography performed in combination with captopril administration …

Background. The diagnostic value of non-invasive methods for diagnosing renal artery
stenosis in patients with renal insufficiency is incompletely known. Methods. Forty-seven …

Renovascular hypertension is a potentially curable form of high blood pressure. However, it
is unclear how best to select patients who are likely to have renovascular hypertension, what …

Sixty-three hypertensive patients with probability of obstructive renal artery disease
underwent both Captopril renal scintigraphy (CRS) and echo-Doppler flowmetry (EDF) …
