Acute anuria secondary to renal artery stenosis. 1976

Three patients with acute onset of anuria secondary to renal malperfusion were successfully treated by revascularization. Twelve such patients have previously been reported. The role of surgery for prophylaxis in stenosing renal artery disease is advocated.
