Abstract
Wang, Si-Yang, Jun Liang, and Jing-Hong Zhao. A Case of High-Altitude Renal Syndrome. High Alt Med Biol. 00:000-000, 2024.-Epidemiological studies have confirmed that high-altitude exposure increases the risk of proteinuria. The concept of high-altitude renal syndrome (HARS) was proposed in 2011. HARS is a group of clinical syndromes consisting of high-altitude polycythemia, hyperuricemia, systemic hypertension, and microalbuminuria. At present, no standardized and unified treatment methods of HARS have been proposed. We report a case of HARS without other organ involvement in a young man exposed to high altitude. Decreasing the red blood cell count and hemodynamic changes as soon as possible may be of great importance for reducing proteinuria. In addition, angiotensin receptor blockers are effective in the treatment of HARS.
期刊介绍：
High Altitude Medicine & Biology is the only peer-reviewed journal covering the medical and biological issues that impact human life at high altitudes. The Journal delivers critical findings on the impact of high altitude on lung and heart disease, appetite and weight loss, pulmonary and cerebral edema, hypertension, dehydration, infertility, and other diseases. It covers the full spectrum of high altitude life sciences from pathology to human and animal ecology.
