Renal Atheroembolism treatment in Naucalpan de Juárez

Renal atheroembolism occurs when small fragments broken off from cholesterol plaques travel through the bloodstream and block the fine arteries of the kidney, affecting its function.

Common causes: it is usually related to advanced atherosclerosis and, at times, appears after procedures on the blood vessels or in people with cardiovascular risk factors.

Possible manifestations: a decline in kidney function, changes in blood pressure, and, sometimes, changes in the skin of the feet and legs may be noticed.

Which specialist handles it? The nephrologist evaluates the state of the kidney, while the vascular surgeon assesses the arterial component. If you have symptoms suggesting circulatory or kidney problems, the most prudent thing is to discuss it with one of these professionals for timely guidance.
