Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis Presenting with Hypertension and Acute Renal Failure

Abstract

Abdominal aortic aneurysm can rarely cause retroperitoneal fibrosis secondary to the leakage of inflammatory cells from aortic plaques to the retroperitoneal area. In this study, we present a case with severe hypertension and acute renal failure secondary to retroperitoneal fibrosis related to abdominal aortic aneurysm.
