Overview

There are no established risk factors for fibromuscular dysplasia; neverteless there are evidences that cigarette smoking, hypertension and other classic risk factors for atherosclerosis may be risk factors in the development of FMD .

However FMD has a greater prevalence among women but no definite association has been

found between this condition and use of oral contraceptives or disturbances of endogenous sex hormones.

Since the disease is more common among the first-degree relatives of patients with FMD, Genetic factors may play a role in the development of FMD.dysplasia,

Risk Factors

There are no established risk factors for FMD ,however cigarette smoking, hypertension and other classic risk factors for atherosclerosis, such as hyperlipidemia may be risk factors in the development of FMD .
