| Abstract |
Renovascular disease is a cause of hypertension in 10 % to 15 % of prepubertal children. Interventions to address hypertension and causes of renovascular disease continue to advance. Successful interventions to treat renovascular disease include medical, angiographic, and surgical means, used alone or, more often, as combination therapy. Medical therapy is used to control the blood pressure prior to further intervention or in specific instances as long-term single therapy. Judicious use of percutaneous angioplasty and surgical intervention is usually successful in children with renal artery stenosis, although up to two-thirds of children will remain on antihypertensive medication after the procedure. Outcomes of combination therapy will continue to improve with advances in the use of antihypertensive medication in children, improvements in percutaneous angiography techniques, and progress in vascular surgical expertise. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 May 2014.
All research outputs
#14,780,519
of 22,755,127 outputs
Outputs from Current Hypertension Reports
#440
of 732 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#186,352
of 314,285 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Hypertension Reports
#5
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,755,127 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 732 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 314,285 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
