Abstract
This case report describes renovascular hypertension and renal dysfunction secondary to aortitis syndrome treated with rt. autorenal transplantation and lt. nephrectomy. A 43-year-old female with aortitis syndrome was found to have renovascular hypertension and renal dysfunction due to bilateral renal artery stenosis. We performed rt. autorenal transplantation and lt. nephrectomy to conrol blood pressure and maintain renal function. Post operatively, the hypertension did not resolve completely. However, plasma renin activiyt decreased to normal range and renal function was salvaged. We discuss “autorenal transplantation” herein.
