| Popis: | Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a well-recognized cause of secondary hypertension. Acute renal failure and recurrent flash pulmonary oedema are some of its less frequent presenting features. A high index of suspicion is necessary to make this diagnosis, as the treatment is distinct from other causes. We report a young female who presented with severe hypertension and renal failure following abortion, that was diagnosed as being due to RAS. Successful revascularization led to resolution of all features. The case highlights the need to consider RAS, a reversible cause of severe hypertension and renal dysfunction in an appropriate clinical setting. |
