Reversible renal failure with renal artery occlusion.

Acute reversible contralateral renal failure after unilateral renal artery reconstruction.

Between 1962 and 1967 we noted a complication after unilateral renal artery reconstruction which to our knowledge has not yet been recorded. This was an acute reversible failure of the contralateral kidney, which occurred within a few days of operation and persisted for a few weeks before normal function returned. This complication arose in two out of 32 patients who underwent operation for ren...

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome with reversible renal artery stenosis.

A 41-year-old woman presented with thunderclap headaches, cortical blindness, generalized seizures, and severe hypertension. Brain imaging (figure) showed features of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Her neurologic examination improved, but severe hypertension persisted. Abdomen CT angiography showed right renal artery narrow...

Spontaneous reversible renal artery stenosis after renal allotransplantation;.

A 54-year-old man with glomerulonephritis received after 18 months of haemodialysis a renal cadaver allograft from a 19-year-old man. His blood pressure was always normal. Bilateral nephrectomy was performed before transplantation. There was one HLA-B locus incompatibility. The donor kidney, preserved with Collins's solution, had a duplication ofthe renal artery on a single aortic patch. This w...

Survival after bilateral renal artery occlusion.

Reversible Renal Failure Due to Captopril in a Patient with Transplant Artery Stenosis

A patient who was subsequently shown to have stenosis of the artery to a transplanted kidney sustained three episodes of impaired renal function during treatment with low doses of captopril. On each occasion this was reversed by withdrawal of therapy. The effect was not related to reduction of blood pressure since lower pressures were recorded during treatment with minoxidil, without deteriorat...
