Renin-dependent renovascular hypertension in infant with abdominal aortic atresia.

A newborn infant was seen with severe and progressive arterial hypertension, congenital atresia of the abdominal aorta, and a renal venous renin activity ratio greater that 1:1.5 (1:3.1). Preoperative studies indicated that the renin-angiotensin axis was responsible for the production and maintenance of the severe hypertensive process. Right nephrectomy cured the arterial hypertension both above and below the area of coarctation. The possible roles of the pathogenic mechanism are discussed.

Papillary necrosis in kidney transplant patients.

Of 158 renal transplant recipients, 75 underwent excretory urography at some point during a six-year period, 24 hours to 7 years after transplantation. In 11 patients, renal papillary necrosis (RPN) was found. RPN was associated in 9 patients with one or more disease entities known to be the etiologic factor to RPN in nontransplanted kidneys. In 2 patients, previous rejection episodes were the probable case for RPN. Renal papillary necrosis, a rather late complication with renal allograft, was demonstrated in this population on an average of 28.1 months after transplantation.
