“…Stenosis accounted for the majority of these injuries with 23-31% of the cases. 5 The progression of stenosis is directly linked to worsening hypertension and deterioration of renal function secondary to ischemic renal disease. Therefore, renal artery stenosis is an important prognostic factor for TA.…”

“…Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory condition of unknown cause that involves large and medium caliber arteries, including the aorta and its main branches, and the coronary and pulmonary arteries. 1,2,5 TA is seen more commonly in individuals of Asian descent, aged between 10 and 30 years, and females (80-90%). Incidence in the USA and Europe ranges from 1 to 3 cases per million population a year.…”

Takayasu arteritis: differential diagnosis in a teenager with severe acute kidney injury - a case report

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory condition of unknown cause that involves large vessels - particularly the aorta and its branches - such as the carotid, coronary, pulmonary, and renal arteries. The left subclavian artery is the most frequently involved vessel. Stenosis of the renal artery has been reported in 23-31% of the cases and may result in malignant hypertension, ischemic renal disease, decompensated heart failure, and premature death. Involvement of both renal arteries is uncommon. Early onset anuria and acute kidney injury are rare and have been reported only in a few cases in the literature. This report describes the case of a 15-year-old female with constitutional symptoms evolving for a year, combined with headache, nausea, and vomiting, in addition to frequent visits to emergency services and insufficient clinical examination. The patient worsened significantly six months after the onset of symptoms and developed acute pulmonary edema, oliguria, acute kidney injury, and difficult-to-control hypertension, at which point she was admitted for intensive care and hemodialysis. Initial ultrasound examination showed she had normal kidneys and stenosis-free renal arteries. The patient was still anuric after 30 days of hospitalization. A biopsy was performed and revealed her kidneys were normal. Computed tomography angiography scans of the abdominal aorta presented evidence of occlusion of both renal arteries. The patient met the diagnostic criteria for Takayasu arteritis and had a severe complication rarely described in the literature: stenosis of the two renal arteries during the acute stage of ischemic renal disease.

“…Secondary hypertension has been reported in 33% to 83% of TA patients (6) and is one of its most common clinical manifestations 3 , 4 . The mechanism of hypertension in TA is not well defined but likely involves mechanical vascular obstruction, neural activation of baroreceptors from aortic arch involvement, and hormonal factors (3) .…”

Takayasu’s Arteritis Presenting as Heart Failure in a 19-Year-Old Female

This report presents the case of this atypical presentation of a rare disease in a 19-year-old female with cardiomyopathy and hypertension. Investigation revealed renovascular stenosis, infarcts, and active vasculitis pathognomonic for Takayasu arteritis (TA). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated mild pericardial inflammation and epicardial edema. Vasculitis-induced renovascular secondary hypertension resulted in myocardial dysfunction, which recovered with treatment of hypertension and TA. ( Level of Difficulty: Beginner. )

Takayasu arteritis, also known as “pulseless disease” usually affects major vessels like aorta and its branches, pulmonary arteries, and renal arteries. Hypertension is the common presentation. Chronic kidney disease involvement is less common. Only a few chronic kidney disease cases are reported so far in Takayasu arteritis. We discuss a case of a young female who presented with accelerated hypertension with chronic kidney disease with preserved peripheral pulses. The diagnosis was confirmed by Computed tomography aortic angiogram, which showed diffuse circumferential thickening, multifocal ectasia, and aneurysmal dilatation with few saccular outpouchings of the aortic arch, descending thoracic and abdominal aorta (Type V). The patient was treated with steroids, antihypertensives, antiplatelet, and hemodialysis. Keywords: Takayasu arteritis; chronic kidney disease; thrombocytopenia.
