dc.description.abstractMETHODS: We prospectively studied the angiographic incidence of renal artery stenosis in 1000 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography for clinically suspected coronary artery disease since December, 1998. Selective renal arteriography was performed in all the patients (mean age 57 years, 74.6% males) after coronary angiography. RESULTS: Systemic arterial hypertension was present in 52%, 29.1% were smokers, 21% had diabetes and 31.2% had hypercholesterolemia. Significant coronary artery diseases was found in 849 (84.9%) patients. Of the total patient cohort, 103 (10.3%) patients had renal artery disease; 78 (7.8%) had insignificant stenosis (> 50%) and significant renal artery stenosis (< 50%) was identified in 25 (2.5%) patients. Three had bilateral renal artery stenosis. Comparisons were made between renal artery stenosis and risk factor profile. There was no statistically significant association between renal artery stenosis and parameters like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, lipid levels and serum creatinine. CONCLUSION: In our study, the absolute number of cases with significant renal artery stenosis is small, so no statistical analysis could be performed to demonstrate the relationship of presence of renal artery stenosis with severity of CAD. However patients with severe coronary artery disease or having multiple risk factor showed a trend towards increased prevalence of renal artery stenosis, hence renal angiography should be done for this subset of patients.en_US
