Abstract
The causes of arterial hypertension associated with renal diseases can vary widely. Infections and vascular processes are the most frequent. The classical pathways leading to hypertension involve extra- and intrarenal vascular processes, mostly arteriosclerotic, releasing the renin-hypertensin mechanism. Chronic infections and noninfectious nephritic processes must be discussed; hormonally influenced extrarenal diseases must be excluded. Renal hypertension can develop as a consequence of trauma, by means of an organized renal or perirenal hematoma narrowing the capsule and main renal artery. Systemic and metabolic diseases, especially diabetes, are also accompanied by hypertension. Renal transplants in different phases of rejection can develop hypertension of different origins.
