Effect of Accessory Renal Arteries on Essential Hypertension and Related Mechanisms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This case-control study aimed to determine whether there were differences between patients with essential hypertension with accessory renal arteries (ARAs) and those without ARAs.

Methods and results

The enrolled patients with essential hypertension were divided into the ARA group (n=200) and control group without ARAs (n=238). After propensity matching, 394 patients (197 in each of the 2 groups), were included. The 24-hour BP (4.33/2.43 mm Hg) and daytime BP (4.48/2.61 mm Hg) of patients in the ARA group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The flow-mediated dilation was lower in the ARA group (5.98±2.70 versus 5.18±2.66; P<0.05). In correlation analysis, the horizontal plasma aldosterone concentration had the highest
