Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) and risk factors in the atherosclerotic patient population. Methods A prospective study was undertaken during Oct 2002 to Nov 2003. Renal angiography was performed to screen the presence of renal artery disease among patients with variety of atherosclerotic disease, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and lower-extremity occlusion disease. Before the angiography, clinical data were collected. Clinical features were compared between ARAS patients and non-ARAS ones in order to explore the risk factors. Results Two hundred and eighteen patients with coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease or lower-extremity occlusion disease were enrolled in the study. ARAS (≥50% diameter narrowing by angiography) was identified in 53 (24.3%) of all the patients. Insignificant renal artery stenosis (
