An Uncommon Presentation of Renal Atherosclerosis Disease

Renal artery stenosis is the leading cause of secondary hypertension in the adult population, it commonly results from atherosclerosis. Renal angiography is the gold standard diagnostic study. Frequently the involved vessels are the perirenalaorta, ostium and the third proximal portion of the main renal artery; however, at latter stages the lobar arteries beyond the first bifurcation might undergo atherosclerotic changes. We aim to present a case of diffuse intra-renal artery atherosclerosis in a patient with previous history of diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension.
