About this Research Topic
Our goal for this Frontiers Research Topic is to highlight the significant reach of the kidney in blood pressure regulation, from renovascular hypertension due to renal artery-occlusive disease to renoparenchymal hypertension and genes involved in renal salt homeostasis. In doing so, we explicitly place findings that can be taken advantage of in creating new therapies for cardiovascular diseases that continue to challenge our community. These include resistant hypertension, renal artery interventions, medical genetics, diabetes and salt consumption in health and disease to name a few.
Keywords: Renovascular, renoparenchymal, genetics, salt conservation, denervation
