Renal artery stenosis is the narrowing of one or more arteries that carry blood to your kidneys (renal arteries). Narrowing of the arteries prevents enough oxygen-rich blood from reaching your kidneys. Your kidneys need adequate blood flow to help filter waste products and remove excess fluids.
Bilateral renal artery stenosis, or stenosis to a solitary functioning kidney, merits specific consideration because of its additional contribution to fluid retention, loss of kidney function, and heart failure.
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) occurs when the arteries that carry blood to your kidneys narrow. It’s usually the result of atherosclerosis. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medication or surgery. RAS is a serious condition that can lead to chronic kidney disease or kidney failure.
Treatment for renal artery stenosis may involve lifestyle changes, medication and a procedure to restore blood flow to the kidneys. Sometimes a combination of treatments is the best approach. Depending on your overall health and symptoms, you may not need any specific treatment.
Renal artery stenosis is narrowing of the one or both of renal arteries. It is the major cause of hypertension and according to some reports is the cause of hypertension in 1% to 10% of the 50 million people in the United States. Atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia most often cause it.
Renal artery stenosis is a narrowing of arteries that carry blood to one or both of the kidneys. Most often seen in older people with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), renal artery...
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is conditioned mainly by two disturbances: fibromuscular dysplasia or atherosclerosis of the renal artery. RAS is an example of renovascular disease, with complex pathophysiology and consequences.
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is typically due to atherosclerotic disease or fibromuscular dysplasia. RAS often presents with accelerated or difficult-to-control hypertension. Worsening kidney function, especially after initiating renin-angiotensin blockade, and recurrent flash pulmonary oedema are common features.
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the narrowing of one or both renal arteries. “Renal” means “kidney” and “stenosis” means “narrowing.” The renal arteries are blood vessels that carry blood to the kidneys from the aorta—the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to arteries throughout the body.
Stenosis of one renal artery is often asymptomatic for a considerable time. Acute complete occlusion of one or both renal arteries causes steady and aching flank pain, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting.
