Renal artery stenosis in a single kidney patient: A case report

Estenosis de la arteria renal en un paciente monorrenal: reporte de un caso

Renal Artery Stenosis (RAS) is a pathologic state that may lead to resistant hypertension, progressive decline in renal function, cardiac destabilization syndromes, recurrent heart failure, or acute coronary syndromes. Nowadays, RAS has two therapeutic methods, including drug therapy and balloon angioplasty (with or without stents). This report introduces a 35-year-old man who was referred to a Tehran hospital in Tehran due to rice pill poisoning. In studies performed on the patient, renal artery stenosis was the reason for the sharp increase in creatinine and its resistance to treatment. Renal artery angioplasty was performed and a stent was placed. After that, the patient's creatinine returned to normal and the patient was discharged in good general condition.
