Item Hipertensión arterial secundaria a fibrodisplasia de la arteria renal izquierda en un paciente joven: reporte de caso(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Menjuren Tapie, Angie Catalina; Prado Jiménez, Joseph David; Moyano, Pablo Andrés (Director)Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare systemic vascular disease that primarily affects young women and accounts for 10% to 20% of all cases of renal artery stenosis worldwide. Renovascular hypertension accounts for 1% to 2% of all cases of hypertension in the general population, but plays a major role in treatable causes of hypertension in young people. Fibromuscular disease is thought to be a rare cause of renovascular hypertension and once diagnosed, patients may require angioplasty, but due to recurrence, long-term follow-up is necessary. (1) The aim of this paper is to present a clinical case of hypertension secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal artery in a young patient, reviewing the history, diagnostic methods and management in a hypertensive patient at an early age. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of this rare but significant condition. Furthermore, this case report serves as a research and educational tool for medical personnel, providing evidence that may be useful in future research and improving the understanding and management of fibromuscular dysplasia in clinical practice.
