Atherosclerotic Kidney Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Atherosclerotic kidney disease is a condition of the kidneys related to the narrowing or hardening of the arteries that supply them, due to the buildup of plaque in their walls. As blood flow is reduced, kidney function can be affected gradually.
How is it related to the vascular system? It is part of the same atherosclerosis process that affects other arteries in the body, so it usually accompanies other circulatory problems.
Possible signs: blood pressure that is difficult to control, changes in kidney function, or vascular symptoms in other areas.
Which specialists treat it? The nephrologist evaluates kidney function and the vascular surgeon assesses the condition of the arteries. If there are cardiovascular risk factors, it is advisable to discuss them with a professional for appropriate follow-up.
