Renal Artery Stenosis & Renovascular Hypertension
Renal Artery Stenosis & Renovascular Hypertension Specialists in Arizona
What Is Renovascular Hypertension?
Renovascular hypertension is a type of high blood pressure caused by a narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys. Known as renal artery stenosis, this condition can be difficult to manage and often does not respond to standard blood pressure medications. At Southwest Kidney Institute in Arizona, our board-certified nephrology specialists provide expert care to protect your kidney health and manage this complex condition.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of Renal Artery Stenosis
Renal artery stenosis can lead to hard-to-control blood pressure and, if untreated, may reduce kidney function. Symptoms are often subtle, which is why early and accurate diagnosis is so important. Our team uses advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to detect narrowing in the renal arteries, identify the cause of your renovascular hypertension, and guide timely treatment.
Renal Artery Stenosis Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the severity of your condition. Options may include medications to manage blood pressure or procedures to restore blood flow to the kidney. Our specialists design a personalized treatment plan that may involve lifestyle recommendations, medications, or interventional procedures. With a coordinated approach, we ensure you receive seamless, comprehensive care.
