Fibromuscular dysplasia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fibromuscular dysplasia Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory disease of the blood vessels that causes abnormal growth within the wall of an artery. FMD has been found in nearly every arterial bed in the body. However, the most common arteries affected are the renal and carotid arteries.〔〔 There are various types of FMD, with medial fibroplasia being the most common. Intimal and adventitial are less common forms of the disease.〔〔〔〔 〕 FMD predominantly affects middle-aged women, but has been found in men and people of all ages.〔 Pediatric cases of FMD are vastly different from that of the adult population. The prevalence of FMD is not known. Although the disease was initially thought to be rare, recent studies have suggested that FMD may be underdiagnosed.〔Hendricks N, Baheti A, Angle JF, Sabri SS, Saad WE, Cutlip D, Matsumoto AH. Is Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD underdiagnosed? A comparison of the prevalence of FMD seen in patients enrolled into the CORAL trial versus a single institution population of renal donor candidates. J Vasc Int Radiol 2013;24(suppl);S17.〕 ==Signs and symptoms== Signs and symptoms that FMD patients present with is largely dependent on the vascular bed(s) affected. Patients may also be entirely asymptomatic and have FMD discovered incidentally, i.e. when imaging studies are performed for other reasons. In a study from the US Fibromuscular Dysplasia registry, the mean age at first symptom or sign was roughly 47 years of age.〔
