Malignant Hypertension: Recovery of Kidney Function After Renal Allograft Failure

Malignant Hypertension: Recovery of Kidney Function After Renal Allograft Failure Abstract The increased appreciation of the role of renin in the pathogenesis of hypertension and the availability of chronic maintenance hemodialysis, during the past decade, laid the groundwork for a new and totally different approach to the treatment of patients with end-stage renal disease and hypertension.
