A Hidden Cause of High Blood Pressure

Renal artery stenosis is the narrowing of arteries that supply blood to the kidneys. It can lead to uncontrolled high blood pressure and gradual loss of kidney function. Often, the condition presents without symptoms until it becomes severe. Vascular surgeons use imaging and specialized procedures to restore blood flow and protect kidney health.
If your blood pressure is difficult to control, renal artery evaluation may be necessary.
