Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a common cause of hypertension and renal insufficiency, especially in the elderly population. There are several excellent diagnostic tests available to diagnose RAS. Renal artery duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and spiral CT angiography have been...

However, angiography is invasive and carries the potential risk of haematoma, pseudoaneurysm, contrast agent induced...
The renal aortic ratio, a commonly used North American criterion for renal artery stenosis, is dismissed as inaccurate as a sole criterion of stenosis. I was perplexed with the extensive space devoted to the discussion of the continuous wave and pulsed Doppler scan cerebrovascular examination, which...
We used color duplex ultrasound in three patients to diagnose transplant renal artery stenosis and to assess pre- and postreconstruction renal blood flow during surgery. Color duplex helped to detect, evaluate, and localize the renal artery stenosis in each case. This imaging method is helpful to...

Ultrasound or computed tomography (CT scan) can help to locate the presence and measure the extent of decreased blood flow. Arteriography of the appropriate organ or limb can locate the site of damage more precisely. Other Diagnostic Procedures Family and personal history Blood pulsations check A ...

Atheromatous renal artery stenosis (ARAS), a lesion of systemic atherosclerotic disease, is the leading cause of stenotic lesions in the renal artery, followed by fibromuscular dysplasia, a primary abnormality of the renal artery. As a result of several clinical trails, which failed to show an ...
