Abstract

A 72-year-old male diabetic patient admitted to our operative unit of nephrology and dialysis underwent hemodialytic treatment because of rapidly progressive renal failure. A moderate hypertensive state was associated to nephrotic proteinuria and microematuria. Renal angiography showed a severe stenosis of the right renal artery and a smaller left kidney. Right renal artery stenting induced a significant reduction in serum creatinine (Cr) and the patient discontinued with the dialytic treatment.
