What is Renal Artery Stenosis?

Renal Artery Stenosis occurs when the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys become narrowed, most commonly due to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). When blood flow to the kidneys decreases, the kidneys may respond by increasing blood pressure, which can further affect overall cardiovascular and kidney health.

Common Symptoms of Renal Artery Stenosis

Some patients may not experience noticeable symptoms, while others may develop:

• High blood pressure that is difficult to control
• Declining kidney function
• Elevated creatinine levels
• Fluid retention and swelling
• Shortness of breath
• Sudden worsening of kidney disease
• Abnormal kidney blood test results

If you have uncontrolled hypertension or unexplained changes in kidney function, a nephrology assessment may help identify the cause.
