Renal Artery Stenosis

Definitions
Renal artery stenosis is narrowing or complete occlusion of one or both renal arteries,
defined by radiograph imaging at greater than 60% stenosis on renal Doppler or greater than 50% on angiography
Ischaemic nephropathy is a chronic reduction in GFR that occurs from a narrowing in the renal artery.
Renovascular HTN (RVHTN) is HTN mediated by high levels of renin and angiotensin II, produced by an underperfused kidney behind a stenosed renal artery.

Epidemiology
RAS has a prevalence of 0.2% to 5% in all hypertensive patients.
Atherosclerotic RAS accounts for 90% of all RAS. Prevalence is as high as 25% in patients with CAD 2% of ESRD pts is due to ischemic nephropathy More common in people aged older than 50 years Found more commonly in women than in men
Fibromuscular dysplasia accounts for 10% of clinical RAS Females are 2 to 10 times more likely than males Onset typically occurs before the age of 30

Aetiology
Atherosclerotic RAS: Atherosclerosis Diabetes mellitus Dyslipidemia Smoking
Fibromuscular dysplasia: Medial fibroplasia
(histological finding in 90% of cases)
Intimal and adventitial fibroplasia (less
common) Smoking
Other causes: Post-transplant
(site of vascular anastomosis)
Miscellaneous renal arterial disease
Renal artery aneurysm

Pathophysiology
When the stenosis exceeds 50% reduction in vessel diameter underperfusion of the kidney the regulatory mechanism (renin-angiotensin system) fail vascular resistance & sodium retention worsening kidney function & difficult-to-control HTN
RAS Atrophy of tubular cells Fibrosis of the capillary tuft Intra-renal arterial medial thickening.

Classification
Anatomical: Unilateral Unilateral in a single functional kidney Bilateral Proximal Distal
Severity: Moderate stenosis (≥50% of RA diameter) Severe stenosis (≥75%) Total occlusion (100%)

Presentation
Signs & Symptoms: or in urinationedema, usually in the
legs, feet, or anklesdrowsiness or tirednessgeneralized itching or
numbnessdry skinheadaches
weight lossappetite lossnauseavomitingsleep problemstrouble concentratingdarkened skinmuscle cramps
In many cases, RAS has no symptoms until it becomes severe.

Diagnosis
RAS should be considered if Age <30 or >50 when they developed HTN NO FHx of HTN Refractory hypertension (No improvement with using 3 or more of Anti
HTN medications)Clinically (bruit on auscultation)Labs:
Serum creatinine Serum potassium Urine analysis and sediment evaluation Aldosterone-to-renin ratio
Duplex ultrasound (US + Doppler) Catheter angiogramComputerized tomographic angiography (CTA) scanMagnetic resonance angiogram (MRA)

Treatment
Atherosclerotic patient group: 1st line: Antihypertensive therapy + Life style
modification + Statin + Antiplatlet agents 2nd line: stenting + medical therapy + clopidogrel 3rd line: surgery
Fibromascular dysplasia : 1st line: Antihypertensive therapy + Life style
modification + percutaneous renal artery balloon angioplasty
2nd line: Surgery + renal artery stenting and dual antiplatelet therapy
