Which of the following statements regarding renovascular hypertension is true based on the pressure findings?

The statement regarding renovascular hypertension that is true in this context is that the patient has right and left lower extremity arterial disease. This suggests that there may be systemic involvement and is consistent with a vascular issue that could contribute to elevated blood pressure due to compromised blood flow to various organs, including the kidneys.

Renovascular hypertension often occurs due to renal artery stenosis, which can be associated with lower extremity arterial diseases. In cases where lower extremity arterial disease is present, there can be compensatory mechanisms in play, which may contribute to hypertension as the body attempts to maintain adequate perfusion to vital organs despite compromised peripheral circulation.

This option recognizes the potential multi-site (both renal and peripheral) involvement of vascular disease, indicating a broader systemic issue rather than just a singular problem, aligning with what is known about the interconnectedness of vascular health.
