Kidney structure and function in military recruits with primary arterial hypertension and their parents
The aim of the study was to clarify the role of congenital anomalies of kidneys, renal vessels and urogenital organs in arterial hypertension (AH) development and progression among young men – potential military recruits undergoing medical expertise. In total, 60 men aged 16X26 years (mean age 20,2±...

| Summary: | The aim of the study was to clarify the role of congenital anomalies of kidneys, renal vessels and urogenital organs in arterial hypertension (AH) development and progression among young men – potential military recruits undergoing medical expertise. In total, 60 men aged 16X26 years (mean age 20,2±0,7 years), with Stage IXII AH (WHO, 1997) were examined, together with 79 parents (39 fathers, 40 mothers) aged 38X61 years (mean age 47,4±0,5 years). SeventyXone parents had Stage IXIII AH, 8 (2 men, 6 women) had normal blood pressure (BP) level. Clinical and instrumental examination included dynamic and static scintigraphy, renal ultrasound, Doppler angiography, excretory urography, measurement of endogenous creatinine glomerular filtration rate, morning albuminuria, and plasma uric acid level. ABO red blood cell antigens and rhesus factor were used as genetic markers. All recruits also underwent echocardiography and 24Xhour BP monitoring during antihypertensive medicationXfree period. AH syndrome, often hereditary, was associated with various renal pathologies diagnosed via complex clinical and instrumental examination. |
