Renal artery stenosis can lead to high blood pressure and kidney damage. Learn about its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment approaches.

Ablating the sympathetic nerves in accessory renal arteries might help enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects of renal denervation, a study of tissues from human cadavers suggests. Though ...

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is common among patients with atherosclerosis. In this Review, Drs White and Olin outline the clinical problem of atherosclerotic RAS and its diagnosis, and critically ...

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a leading cause of kidney disease and kidney failure (end-stage renal disease). Kidney disease can also cause a type of high blood pressure called renal ...

A renal allograft recipient (underlying disease IgA nephropathy) went into renal failure 10 days after transplantation. The donor kidney had multiple cortical cysts and 2 separate renal arteries.

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys narrow. The renal arteries are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to your kidneys, which ...

Routine laboratory values were normal (Table 1). Colour Doppler sonography suggested left renal artery aneurysm; CT confirmed a presence of 10 × 14 mm renal artery aneurysm located in renal hilum.

Renal hypertension is a type of high blood pressure caused by narrowing of the renal artery, which is usually caused by atherosclerosis.

AS A result of Goldblatt's studies on experimental hypertension, reported in 1937,1 there has been a revival of interest and investigation in renal-artery occlusion as a cause of hypertension in ma ...

It boldly restarted the clinical trials in 2015. The Simplicity catheter became the Spyral catheter, able to provide RF energy to ablate the renal arteries from multiple electrodes.

Blocking the blood supply for kidney cancer is called renal artery embolisation. You might have this if you aren't able to have surgery and have symptoms from your cancer.

With renal denervation, you are trying to “cut off” that circuit so these nerves do not transmit the signal from the renal arteries to keep the BP elevated.
