Overview

The cause of fibromuscular dysplasia has not been identified.

Cause

The cause of fibromuscular dysplasia has not been identified. A variety of factors have been implicated. These include:

  • Genetic predisposition with a reported autosomal mode of inheritance in some families[1][2]
  • Hormonal influence, given the predominance in women of childbearing age
  • Mechanical factors such as stretching of smooth muscle cells and trauma to the blood vessel wall
  • Ischemia of the blood vessel wall due to fibrotic occlusion of the vasavasorum
