  • Title: Atherosclerotic ischemic nephropathy. Epidemiology and clinical considerations.
    Author: Novick AC.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1994 May; 21(2):195-200. PubMed ID: 8178387.
    Abstract:
    The development of chronic renal failure from atherosclerotic renal artery disease, termed ischemic nephropathy, has become an important clinical issue that is separate and distinct from the problem of renovascular hypertension. Studies on the natural history of atherosclerotic renal artery disease have made it possible to identify those patients in whom the disease poses a significant threat to overall renal function. Intervention to restore normal renal arterial blood flow is indicated in such patients to prevent deterioration of renal function that may culminate in the need for dialytic replacement therapy.
