Arterial stenosis in renal transplantation. 1977

O Lindfors, and L Laasonen, and F Fyhrqvist, and B Kock, and B Eklund, and B Lindström

Stenosis of the renal artery of the transplant (RAT), is reported with a frequency of 5-10% (Nerstrøm, Ladefoged & Lund 1972, Nilsson, Henriksson & Thoren 1976, Beachley, Pierce, Boykin & Lee 1976). The stenosis is significant if it deteriorates the renal function or elevates the arterial blood pressure. The angiographic impression of a stenosis depends on the projection and it is difficult to correlate the radiological findings with the blood flow. Moreover both renal failure and hypertension might depend on other factors than stenosis of the RAT. The aim of this study was to establish how often a reconstruction of a RAT suspected of being stenotic would benefit the patient.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006977 Hypertension, Renal Persistent high BLOOD PRESSURE due to KIDNEY DISEASES, such as those involving the renal parenchyma, the renal vasculature, or tumors that secrete RENIN. Hypertensions, Renal,Renal Hypertension,Renal Hypertensions
D012078 Renal Artery Obstruction Narrowing or occlusion of the RENAL ARTERY or arteries. It is due usually to ATHEROSCLEROSIS; FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA; THROMBOSIS; EMBOLISM, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension (HYPERTENSION, RENOVASCULAR). Renal Artery Stenosis,Obstruction, Renal Artery,Obstructions, Renal Artery,Renal Artery Obstructions,Renal Artery Stenoses,Stenoses, Renal Artery,Stenosis, Renal Artery
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.

D006084 Graft Rejection An immune response with both cellular and humoral components, directed against an allogeneic transplant, whose tissue antigens are not compatible with those of the recipient. Transplant Rejection,Rejection, Transplant,Transplantation Rejection,Graft Rejections,Rejection, Graft,Rejection, Transplantation,Rejections, Graft,Rejections, Transplant,Rejections, Transplantation,Transplant Rejections,Transplantation Rejections
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D014184 Transplantation, Homologous Transplantation between individuals of the same species. Usually refers to genetically disparate individuals in contradistinction to isogeneic transplantation for genetically identical individuals. Transplantation, Allogeneic,Allogeneic Grafting,Allogeneic Transplantation,Allografting,Homografting,Homologous Transplantation,Grafting, Allogeneic
