Renal Artery Stenosis demands specialized attention to preserve kidney function and prevent complications. At Pinnacle Vein & Vascular Center, our team of vascular specialists is proficient in diagnosing and managing Renal Artery Stenosis, offering personalized treatments to address vascular narrowing and enhance overall kidney health.

Understanding Renal Artery Stenosis

Renal Artery Stenosis occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys become narrowed or blocked, leading to reduced blood flow and potential kidney damage. This condition can result from atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, or other vascular disorders. Recognizing the signs and risk factors associated with Renal Artery Stenosis is crucial for timely intervention and effective management.

Recognizing Symptoms

Symptoms of Renal Artery Stenosis may include:

• High blood pressure that is difficult to control with medication
• Decreased kidney function or kidney failure
• Fluid retention or swelling in the legs
• Abdominal bruits (abnormal sounds) upon auscultation

Specialized Treatment Approaches

Our comprehensive treatments for Renal Artery Stenosis may include:

• Angioplasty and Stenting: Minimally invasive procedures to open the narrowed artery and improve blood flow to the kidneys, often accompanied by the placement of a stent to maintain patency.
• Medications: Prescription medications to manage high blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, or improve kidney function.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Recommendations for a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, and stress management to reduce the risk of vascular disease and kidney complications.
