Hello, Currently, the primary issue is stenosis of the left renal artery, which is closely associated with genetic factors and congenital developmental abnormalities. This condition can lead to secondary hypertension, posing potential health risks. In severe cases, symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and fatigue may occur. Therefore, treatment should be tailored according to the specific clinical situation. Surgical intervention may be required; additionally, if hypertension develops, antihypertensive medications should be administered concurrently. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
