Abstract
Since June 1, 1971 patients undergoing evaluation for hypertension were evaluated with rapid sequence excretory urography, abdominal aortography and selective renal arteriography. Renal venous assays were done in selected patients. Through July 31, 1974, 812 arteriographic studies in new hypertensive patients were done. In 6 of these patients renal tumors were discovered by arteriography only and were not suggested by symptoms, urinalysis nor diagnosed on hypertensive excretory urography. This high incidence was surprising, and it is hoped that others will review their arteriographic series of hypertensive patients.
