Renovascular hypertension is caused by renal artery stenosis. Most renovascular hypertension develops from partial obstruction of one main renal artery, although only a branch need be involved. Renal artery stenosis may have manifested as either unilateral or bilateral. The two most common causes of renal hypertension are atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia. Atherosclerosis of the renal artery is the cause of stenosis in 90% of cases, and it usually involves the ostium and proximal third of the renal artery trunk. It usually affects patients over 65 years of age with known cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, hyperglycaemia.
