What Is Fibromuscular Dysplasia?
2. Causes
Little is known about what causes fibromuscular dysplasia. We do know, however, that there are certain factors that are likely to contribute toward the condition. One of these is genetics and, if there is a history of fibromuscular dysplasia in your family then you are at a higher risk of having it yourself.
In some cases, it is suspected that a lack of oxygen to the affected arteries is responsible for them developing abnormally. It is also suspected that there may be a link between the condition and certain hormones, and women are more likely to develop it than men are.
