==Overview==
Renovascular hypertension is a syndrome which consists of high [[blood pressure]] caused by narrowing of the [[renal arteries|arteries supplying the kidneys]] ([[renal artery stenosis]]). It is a form of [[secondary hypertension]] - a form of hypertension whose cause is identifiable.
 
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]].
