Overview
Causes
- Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis (ARAS)[1] [2]
- Atherosclerosis accounts for approximately 90% of the cases of RAS and is the predominant lesion detected in patients >50 years of age
- The presence and number of diseased coronary arteries predicts the likelihood of ARAS
- RAS resulting from atherosclerotic disease is common in (18% to 20%) individuals undergoing coronary angiography (1)
- RAS resulting from atherosclerotic disease is even more common (35% to 50%) in individuals undergoing peripheral vascular angiography for occlusive disease of the aorta and legs (2)
- Fibromuscular dysplasia
- Unknown etiology
- Second most common cause of RAS
- Affects middle-aged women
- More common in first-degree relatives and in the presence of the ACE-I allele.
- Renal artery involvement is seen in 60% of cases - frequently bilateral compromise.
- Progressive renal stenosis is seen in 37% of cases and loss of renal mass in 63%
- Nephroangiosclerosis (HTN injury)
- Diabetic Nephropathy (small vessels)
- Renal thromboembolic disease
- Atheroembolic renal disease
- Aortorenal dissection
- Post renal transplant RAS
- Renal artery vasculitis
- Trauma
- Neurofibromatosis
- Thromboangiitis obliterans
- Scleroderma
