I was confused and thought that ostial had something to do with bone but I guess ostial refers to the opening or the origin of a vessel (like the cervical Os or the coronary Os).

Most hypertension is essential or physiological or primary and is related to increased cardiac output or increased total peripheral resistance.
Secondary hypertension is secondary to renal/renovascular disease such as fibromuscular dysplasia (a question asking for this would have likely given us an image with a "string of beads" appearance and a vignette with a woman of child-bearing age) OR renal artery stenosis (or as written in this question ostial stenosis of one renal artery) possibly due to atherosclerosis.
