Identifying Renal Artery Stenosis Symptoms at Dignity Health Central Coast

You may never realize any symptoms before being diagnosed with renal artery stenosis. A Dignity Health Central Coast vascular specialist may detect symptoms during a routine exam or test for this cardiovascular condition. 

High blood pressure is often a result of renal artery stenosis. You may develop renal artery stenosis if you fall into the following risk groups: 

• High blood pressure after age 50
• Increased high blood pressure
• No response to treatment of blood pressure
• No family history of hypertension

While the cause of renal artery stenosis can vary, not receiving care for a long period of time can increase your chances of kidney failure.
