Renal artery occlusive disease.

R A Aaberg, R Flaherty, R B Smith

    Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America
    |September 1, 1991

    Summary

    Renal artery occlusive disease can lead to high blood pressure and kidney problems. Treatment involves evaluating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and may require procedures like angioplasty or surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Hypertension Research

    Background:

    • Renal artery occlusive disease, caused by atherosclerosis or fibrous dysplasia, is a significant factor in secondary hypertension and renal insufficiency.
    • The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a crucial role in mediating the hypertension associated with renal artery stenosis.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology of RAAS is key to managing patients with renal artery occlusive disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for managing renal artery occlusive disease.
    • To emphasize the importance of RAAS evaluation in patients with hypertension and renal insufficiency.
    • To highlight the role of revascularization procedures in improving blood pressure control and renal function.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic approaches to assess the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
    • Discussion of pharmacologic agents targeting RAAS modulation.
    • Analysis of indications for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and surgical revascularization.

    Main Results:

    • Effective management hinges on accurate RAAS evaluation and tailored pharmacologic interventions.
    • Revascularization procedures offer significant benefits in select patients for blood pressure and renal function.
    • A multidisciplinary approach is essential for optimal patient outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Renal artery occlusive disease requires a comprehensive evaluation strategy.
    • Pharmacologic and interventional treatments are vital for managing associated hypertension and renal insufficiency.
    • Team-based care ensures successful management of this complex condition.
