Popis: | Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is one of the major causes of resistant/malignant hypertension. It can be described as atherosclerotic or non-atherosclerotic. Atherosclerotic RAS comprises almost 90% of all RAS cases and is a prevalent disease of the elderly. Multiple risk factors contribute to atherosclerosis development, which leads to the release of renin and aldosterone, causing resistant/malignant hypertension. Early recognition is prudent but challenging as there are no early clinical signs. We believe that renal resistive index with supportive clinical, laboratory, and imaging modalities can help select revascularization patients. |
