Renal Artery Stenosis

Signs & Symptoms

 Coronary artery disease #Atherosclerotic_renal_artery_stenosis
Ref: Harrison [ 1906] Cecil [ 170]
Presence of other vascular conditions #Atherosclerotic_renal_artery_stenosis
Ref: Harrison [ 1906] Cecil [ 170]
Systemic atherosclerosis #Atherosclerotic_renal_artery_stenosis
Ref: Harrison [ 1906] Cecil [ 170]
Peripheral aortic diseases #Atherosclerotic_renal_artery_stenosis
Ref: Harrison [ 1906] Cecil [ 170]

Physical Examination

 Urgent hypertension
Ref: Cecil [ 170]
Emergent hypertension
Ref: Cecil [ 170]
Wide purple striae (negative symptom)
Note: due to Cushing syndrome, due to Cushing
Ref: Cecil [ 170]

Lab / Serology

 Worsening renal function in response to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition
Ref: Cecil [ 170]
Progressive worsening renal function
Note: in response to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition or angiotensin-receptor blockade (ARB)
Ref: Cecil [ 170]
Worsening renal function in response to angiotensin-receptor blockade
Ref: Cecil [ 170]

Imagin Study

 High Renal artery velocities
Note: Doppler ultrasound
Ref: Cecil [ 170]
