It is a form of secondary hypertension a form of hypertension whose cause is identifiable. Cause It induces renin secretion that causes the angiotensin conversion, causing aldosterone release and then water retention and potassium depletion. Diagnosis and presentation Techniques have been developed to diagnose renal hypertension using digital image processing of radiograph s. Treatment may involve angioplasty and stent ing of the renal arteries. The syndrome may be related to other diseases of the epithelium . Suggestive clinical features include onset of hypertension 30 or 50 years of age, abdominal or femoral bruits , hypokalemic alkalosis, moderate to severe retinopathy, acute onset of hypertension or malignant hypertension , and hypertension resistant to medical therapy. The gold standard in diagnosis of renal artery stenosis is conventional arteriography. Magnetic resonance angiography MRA is used in many centers, especially among patients with renal insufficiency at higher risk for contrast nephropathy. MRA may overestimate the severity of stenosis relative to angiography. In patients with normal renal function and hypertension, the captopril or enalaprilat renogram may be used. Lateralization of renal function accentuation of the difference between affected and unaffected or less affected sides is suggestive of significant vascular disease.

Exercise hypertension is an excessive rise in blood pressure during exercise. Many of those with exercise hypertension have spikes in systolic pressure to 250 mmHg or greater. A rise in systolic blood pressure to over 200 mmHg when exercising at 100 W is pathological, and a rise in pressure over 220 mmHg needs to be controlled by the appropriate drugs. ref name klaus cite journal first D. last Klaus year 1989 month February title Management of Hypertension in Actively Exercising Patients Implications for Drug Selection. journal Drugs volume 37 issue 2 pages 212 218 pmid 2649357 ref Similarly, in healthy individuals the response of the diastolic pressure to dynamic exercise e.g. walking, running of moderate intensity is to remain constant or to fall slightly due to the improved blood flow , but in some individuals a rise of 10 mmHg or greater is found. Recent work at Johns Hopkins involving a group of athletes aged 55 to 75 with mild hypertension has found a correlation of those with exercise hypertension to a reduced ability of the major blood vessels to change in size in response to increased blood flow probably due to impaired function of the endothelial cells in the vessel walls . This is to be differentiated from stiffness of the blood vessel walls, which was not found to be correlated with the effect. ref name Stewart cite journal first Kerry last Stewart coauthors et al. year 2004 month April title Exaggerated Exercise Blood Pressure is Related to Impaired Endothelial Vasodilatory Function journal Am.

Causes Causes can be divided into prehepatic, intrahepatic, and posthepatic. Intrahepatic causes include liver cirrhosis , and hepatic fibrosis e.g. due to Wilson s disease , hemochromatosis , or congenital fibrosis . Prehepatic causes include portal vein thrombosis or congenital atresia. Posthepatic obstruction occurs at any level between liver and right heart, including hepatic vein thrombosis , inferior vena cava thrombosis, inferior vena cava congenital malformation, and constrictive pericarditis .
