Effects of renal volume and single-kidney glomerular filtration rate on renal functional outcome in atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis

Abstract

Our data suggest that, after revascularization, GFR improvement is likely if there is a disproportionately higher baseline PV:SK-GFR in the RAS kidney. Analysing these parameters can potentially identify these 'hibernating' kidneys and aid determination of renal functional outcome in RAS.
