Bilateral renal artery stenosis in Kawasaki disease: a report of two cases

Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2006 Nov-Dec;24(6):719-21.

Abstract

We report two cases, a boy and a girl, who developed severe renal hypertension over sub-acute phase of Kawasaki Disease (KD). Paediatricians should be alert to consider preceding KD as potential source of secondary hypertension in young infants, and raised blood pressure should be regarded as a life-threatening complication in all KD children.
