Abstract

Renovascular diseases (RVDs) that cause end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are inflammatory vasculitis, nephrosclerosis, RVD atheromatous and embolic disease. Renal artery stenosis is the cause of renovascular hypertension in at least 90%. Atherosclerosis involves 80% of the ostium and the proximal one-third of the renal artery. Renovascular hypertension and ischaemic nephropathy are most commonly seen in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis. Surgical procedures include PTRA and PTRAS (percutaneous renal artery angioplasty and stenting). This review summarises and provides an update in the management of renovascular disease.
