Narrowing of the renal arteries — a cause of secondary hypertension and ischemic kidney disease.
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis presents with resistant hypertension, recurrent pulmonary edema, and eGFR decline after starting ACE/ARB. Diagnosis via ultrasound or CT/MR angiography. Treatment is usually medical (RAAS blockade if tolerated, statins); revascularization is reserved for high-risk presentations.
Persistently elevated blood pressure - the second leading cause of kidney failure and a driver of CKD progression at every stage.
A blood-pressure drug (e.g., ramipril, lisinopril, enalapril) that also protects the kidneys by reducing protein leakage.
A sudden drop in kidney function over hours to days - reversible if caught early, but a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease.
