  • Title: Nephrotic syndrome and recurrent pulmonary oedema in bilateral atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis: resolution following renal angioplasty and stenting.
    Author: Bali HK, Jha V.
    Journal: Natl Med J India; 2006; 19(5):253-4. PubMed ID: 17203679.
    Abstract:
    Hypertension and episodic pulmonary oedema are known complications of bilateral renovascular disease. However, significant proteinuria has not been reported in this setting. We describe a patient who presented with recurrent pulmonary oedema and nephrotic syndrome, and was found to have bilateral renal artery stenosis. Percutaneous angioplasty and stenting led to a complete resolution of both, confirming a causal relationship. This is perhaps the first report documenting the rare combination of nephrotic syndrome and flash pulmonary oedema due to bilateral renal artery stenosis.
