what is 'renal artery occlusion - blockage of artery to kidney '?
Definition for renal artery occlusion
The kidneys are very sensitive to the amount of blood that flows through them. Any reduction of blood flow through the renal artery can impair kidney function.
more
The kidneys are very sensitive to the amount of blood that flows through them. Any reduction of blood flow through the renal artery can impair kidney function. If prolonged, a complete blockage of blood flow to the kidney often results in permanent failure of the kidney.
Lack of functioning of one kidney may not cause symptoms because the second kidney adequately filters the blood. Hypertension (high blood pressure) may develop, however. If there is not a second functional kidney, blockage of the renal artery may cause symptoms of acute kidney failure.
