Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty was performed in a 63-year-old diabetic woman who had renovascular hypertension with solitary functioning kidney and diffuse atherosclerosis. Angioplasty was technically successful, while thereafter, fever and myalgia of legs occurred with gradual increases in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. The patient became uremic over a month after angioplasty and was placed on dialysis. She died six months after angioplasty. Autopsy revealed cholesterol embolization in bilateral kidney, pancreas and spleen, causing subacute renal failure. It is suggested that careful assessment of the patient should be made when determining the need for renal angioplasty for renovascular hypertension with a solitary functioning kidney.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
