Kidney volume to GFR ratio predicts functional improvement after revascularization in atheromatous renal artery stenosis.

BACKGROUND:Randomized controlled trials (RCT) have shown no overall benefit of renal revascularization in atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD). However, 25% of patients demonstrate improvement in renal function. We used the ratio of magnetic resonance parenchymal volume (PV) to isotopic singl...
