Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Renovascular hypertension is a type of high blood pressure (hypertension) caused by the narrowing of one or both of the blood vessels connected to the kidneys. The same fatty plaques that damage artery walls and cause heart disease can be at fault, along with other conditions. The narrowing (stenosis) can cause severe high blood pressure and kidney damage. Symptoms include severe high blood pressure, high blood pressure that doesn’t respond to medication or stops responding when it did previously, and high blood pressure with no family history.
