KIDNEY FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH ATHEROSCLEROTIC RENAL ARTERY

Abstract

Renal dysfunction is a common manifestation of renal ischemia, along with renovascular hypertension (RVH) and congestive heart failure [1, 3–5]. It is known that a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is clearly associated with an unfavorable prognosis both in the general population [2] and in patients with AORLD [1, 3]. Therefore, preserving organ function is one of the priorities in the surgical treatment of ischemic kidney disease (IKD) in patients with atherosclerotic occlusive lesions of the renal arteries (AORLD) [1]. There are few attempts to predict the outcome of RP based on PF based on the initial functional state, organ size, and assessment of intrarenal blood flow [4–12].
