  • Title: Ischemic nephropathy.
    Author: Zucchelli P, Zuccalà A.
    Journal: J Nephrol; 1999; 12 Suppl 2():S152-60. PubMed ID: 10688415.
    Abstract:
    Ischemic nephropathy, involving stenotic lesions in the renal arteries, associated with renal insufficiency, is now recognized as a frequent disease. It may be responsible for a significant proportion of end stage renal disease, at least in the Caucasian population. Some non-invasive but reliable techniques such as echo-color-Doppler, gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance and spiral CT angiography are now available for diagnosis. Revascularization with either angioplasty, stent or surgery improves renal function in many patients. In the near future systemic and/or local medical therapy will provide better answers for renovascular disease.
