Abstract EN
Atherosclerotic renal artery disease is a common cause of hypertension and chronic kidney disease that may progress into end stage renal failure if not diagnosed and treated early.
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) has been shown to be an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with coronary artery disease.
We sought to determine whether race is an independent risk factor for developing RAS.
A retrospective study was conducted including 324 patients with resistant hypertension who underwent renal angiography with or without coronary angiography.
In univariate analysis, Caucasian race was associated with significant risk of RAS (OR = 2.3, P = .01).
However, this association was no longer significant after correcting for additional clinical variables in a multivariate model (OR = 1.5, P = .07).
There was a strong association between smoking and RAS (OR 2.0, P = .02).
We conclude that traditional risk factors, especially smoking, rather than race, are the most important predictors of RAS development.
