Local pyelonephritis and its role in the genesis of arterial hypertension

The analysis of clinical observations of 16 patients with local circulatory disorders in the kidney, 14 of whom had severe arterial hypertension, was carried out. In 10 patients, various forms of renal blood circulation anomalies were found. The most useful information in the examination of these patients is provided by a comprehensive angiographic study. The signs of local pyelonephritis revealed with its help, as well as severe proliferative-sclerotic changes in this zone, confirmed by morphological data, make it possible to consider kidney resection as the operation of choice in the treatment of these patients.
