What is renovascular disease?<\/h2>\n

Renal arteries originate from the Aorta and carry blood flow and nutrients to the kidneys. When these arteries are blocked, a condition called stenosis occurs. When this happens, the kidneys do not receive enough blood and oxygen.<\/p>\n

\nRenal artery stenosis (narrowed artery)
\nReduced blood flow.<\/div>\n

These arteries can also be affected by several diseases, mainly atherosclerosis and, less commonly, renal artery aneurysms, fibromuscular dysplasia, and vasculitis.<\/p>\n

Renovascular disease symptoms<\/h2>\n

Symptoms may be absent but in most cases, high blood pressure and progressive kidney damage can occur, which can even lead to the need for Hemodialysis.<\/p>\n

Pain on the sides and blood in the urine should make us suspect this pathology.<\/p>\n

Renovascular disease risk factors<\/h2>\n

In most cases, atherosclerosis is the main cause of renal artery disease.
\nThe risk factors are tobacco, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol and triglycerides.<\/p>\n

The diagnosis is made with a complete medical history as well as a physical examination.
\nIt is important to place the stethoscope on the abdomen to look for signs of normal arterial flow.
\nOther tests are a renal duplex, MRI, or a CT angiography of the aorta and renal arteries.<\/p>\n

Renovascular disease treatment<\/h2>\n

Its treatment is generally endovascular and is carried out by performing a selective angiography, intravascular ultrasound, angioplasty, and stent placement, if necessary.
\nOn fewer occasions, open surgery will be required to perform a bypass or bridge.<\/p>\n
