Renal Artery Arteriosclerotic Disease Treatment in Turkey
About Renal Artery Arteriosclerotic Disease
Key Highlights
-
Focuses on preserving long-term kidney function and preventing failure.Effectively controls difficult-to-manage high blood pressure (renovascular hypertension).Reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.Utilizes a combination of medication management and, when needed, minimally invasive procedures.Involves continuous monitoring and personalized care plans by a kidney specialist.
Who is this surgery for?
- Sudden onset or worsening of high blood pressure, especially in older adults.
- High blood pressure that remains uncontrolled despite multiple medications.
- Unexplained worsening of kidney function (rising creatinine levels).
- Recurrent episodes of sudden fluid buildup in the lungs (flash pulmonary edema).
- A significant size difference between the two kidneys detected on imaging.
- Presence of widespread atherosclerosis in other arteries (e.g., heart, legs).
How to prepare
- Comprehensive evaluation including blood tests (kidney function, cholesterol) and urine tests.
- Diagnostic imaging such as a renal duplex ultrasound, CT angiography, or MR angiography.
- Review and possible adjustment of current medications, especially blood thinners.
- Discussion of the treatment plan, including risks and benefits of medical vs. procedural therapy.
- For procedural interventions, fasting for several hours prior may be required.
Risks & possible complications
- Allergic reaction to contrast dye used in imaging or procedures.
- Bleeding, infection, or pain at the catheter insertion site (for angioplasty/stenting).
- Injury to the renal artery, such as dissection or rupture (rare).
- Worsening of kidney function due to contrast-induced nephropathy.
- Restenosis (re-narrowing) of the artery after stenting.
- Dislodgement of plaque, potentially leading to blockage in smaller kidney vessels.
Recovery & hospital stay
- After a stenting procedure, rest is advised for 24-48 hours, avoiding strenuous activity.
- The insertion site must be kept clean and dry; monitor for signs of bleeding or infection.
- Strict adherence to prescribed medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood thinning.
- Regular follow-up appointments with the nephrologist to monitor blood pressure and kidney function.
- Lifestyle modifications, including a heart-healthy diet (low salt), regular exercise, and smoking cessation, are crucial.
- Repeat imaging may be scheduled to ensure the artery remains open.

Priya Brown, a 62-year-old retired school...
Priya Brown, a 62-year-old retired school librarian, had managed her type 2 diabetes and hypertension for over a decade. Despite taking four different blood pressure medications, her readings remained dangerously high, and her kidney function had begun to decline. She was constantly fatigued, had persistent headaches, and was frustrated by the lack of progress. Her nephrologist, Dr. Chen, ordered a specialized scan that revealed severe narrowing in both her renal arteries due to arteriosclerosis. Dr. Chen recommended a renal artery angioplasty and stenting procedure to open the blocked arteries, explaining it could protect her kidneys and help control her blood pressure. Priya was nervous but hopeful. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. In the weeks that followed, her blood pressure became much easier to manage with fewer medications, and her kidney function stabilized. Emotionally, she moved from a state of fearful resignation, worrying about dialysis, to one of immense relief and regained control over her health, allowing her to enjoy her retirement with her grandchildren.
