Fibromuscular Dysplasia treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Fibromuscular dysplasia is an uncommon disorder of the artery wall, in which certain areas narrow, widen, or take on an irregular appearance, which can alter blood flow to some organs.

Frequent symptoms: Many people have no discomfort; when it appears, it can include hard-to-control high blood pressure, headache, or ringing in the ears, depending on the arteries affected.

When to see a doctor? In the case of high blood pressure at an early age, with no history to explain it, or symptoms that do not resolve, an evaluation is worthwhile.

Which specialist treats it? When it involves the arteries that supply the kidneys, the nephrologist takes part in its workup and follow-up, within a medical team. If you have been found to have hard-to-explain changes in blood pressure, discussing it with a professional helps guide the diagnosis.
