Study of renal function after renal artery reconstruction.

Acute reversible contralateral renal failure after unilateral renal artery reconstruction.

Between 1962 and 1967 we noted a complication after unilateral renal artery reconstruction which to our knowledge has not yet been recorded. This was an acute reversible failure of the contralateral kidney, which occurred within a few days of operation and persisted for a few weeks before normal function returned. This complication arose in two out of 32 patients who underwent operation for ren...

Splint renal function after captopril in unilateral renal artery stenosis.

The renal extraction ratios of 131I-sodium iodohippurate (131I-Hippuran) and 125I-thalamate were greatly reduced on the affected side by 50 mg captopril in seven out of 14 patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis. With long term captopril 150 mg daily the uptake of 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid by the affected kidney, which was determined by scintillation camera renography, be...

A Case Report of Renal Artery Variation

Awareness of the presence of the accessory renal artery in kidney transplant, treatment of renal artery stenosis, clinical assessment of renal vascular hypertension, radiology and angiography interventions is very helpful. In 30% of cases the accessory renal artery is separated from the abdominal aorta and in most cases, this artery along with the main artery entered to the kidney through t...

Bilateral renal artery stenosis after renal denervation.

Split renal function outcome after renal angioplasty in patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis.

The general use of bilateral rather than separate renal function evaluation has led to the publication of conflicting results concerning the effect of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) on renal function, especially in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate prospectively, in standardized conditions, split renal function (SRF) a...
