  A 23-year-old woman with no significant past medical history presents to her primary care physician for an annual physical exam. She was found to have a blood pressure of 156/94 mmHg. She has never had any episodes of high blood pressure in the past and she has no family history of hypertension. She is prescribed captopril. After two weeks, she presents to the emergency room with hypertensive urgency. Captopril was immediately stopped and after stabilizing her blood pressure, an ultrasound revealed bilateral renal artery stenosis. […] Renal artery stenosis (RAS) occurs when one or both of the renal arteries are narrowed. This often causes renovascular hypertension. […] Worsening renal function after taking an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocking (ARB) agent may indicate bilateral renal artery stenosis (RAS) because ACE inhibitors and ARBs further decrease glomerular filtration rate and worsen renal function.

  ACE-inhibitors or ARBs are indicated for persistent hypertension but are contraindicated in bilateral RAS or RAS in patients with a single kidney. […] Revascularization is indicated in severe complications of RAS, such as unexplained heart failure, unexplained pulmonary edema, chronic kidney disease, or inadequately controlled hypertension. […] Renal dysfunction can progress to end-stage renal disease.

• #12 Renal Artery Stenosis: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17422-renal-artery-disease

  Medication, combined with lifestyle changes, can help regulate high blood pressure and slow or prevent the progression of kidney disease. Your healthcare provider may recommend a combination of drugs: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) block certain hormones that may cause your blood vessels to narrow. Aspirin thins your blood so it flows more easily through arteries. Beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers reduce high blood pressure. Diuretics, or water pills, help your kidneys remove extra water from your blood. Statins reduce high cholesterol. […] Severe RAS not managed by medication may require surgery. The two main types of vascular surgeries for RAS include: Angioplasty and stenting: A surgeon inserts a catheter (thin, flexible tube) into your narrowed renal artery. They inflate a tiny balloon inside of your artery to widen it. Next, they place a stent (small mesh tube) in your artery to keep it open and help blood continue flowing to your kidney. Angioplasty and renal artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure and is the most common type of surgery for RAS. Renal artery bypass: A surgeon reroutes blood flow to your kidney by bypassing the narrowed or blocked renal artery. They use a blood vessel graft (usually from your leg) or an artificial tube. The graft or tube is sewn to an existing healthy artery and then attached to the blocked artery (at a place between the blockage and the kidney). Renal endarterectomy: A surgeon opens your narrowed renal artery and removes plaque and other substances that may be blocking blood flow.

• #17 How to manage renovascular hypertension

  https://www.escardio.org/Journals/E-Journal-of-Cardiology-Practice/Volume-13/How-to-manage-renovascular-hypertension

  Renal artery stenosis must be considered in any patient with a history of severe or resistant hypertension, especially in those associating a decline in renal function or significant atherosclerosis in other vascular territories. […] The purpose of therapy in patients with renal artery disease is to control blood pressure and preserve renal function. Currently, there is ongoing controversy regarding therapeutic management of patients with RAS, both regarding the method used for revascularisation and its actual benefit in practice. If HTN control cannot be achieved or a decline in renal function is evident, revascularisation should be more strongly considered. […] Medical therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for renal-artery stenosis. ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers and calcium channel blockers are effective in the treatment of hypertension in the presence of unilateral RAS and may lead to slowing of the progression of renal disease.
