In the presence of renal artery stenosis, the resistance in the afferent arteriole is increased. As compensation, Angiotensin II acts to constrict the efferent arteriole in order to achieve adequate profusion of the glomerulus. ACE inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Without its vasoconstrictive effect, the efferent arteriole becomes dilated. This leads to a drop in GFR and may lead to renal failure.
Treatment for renal artery stenosis is either surgical, pharmaceutical, or with angioplasty or stenting.

The Renal artery attaches to the Kidneys.
Your renal arteries supply the kidneys with blood while the renal veins take it away back to the heart.

Treatment for renal artery stenosis is either surgical, pharmaceutical, or with angioplasty or stenting.
The two main causes of renal artery stenosis are atherosclerosis and fibromuscular disease.
congenital renal artery stenosis
my 70 year old mother was on ace inhibitors ,arb's and diuretics.could she still develop flash pulmonary edema due to renal artery stenosis?she was a diabetic.
Acute onset of renal vein thrombosis at any age causes pain in the lower back and side, fever, bloody urine, decreased urine output, and sometimes kidney failure

The Renal artery attaches to the Kidneys.
Once the blood supply is minimized or cut off to the kidney, tissue death soon results, ultimately leading to chronic kidney failure (end-stage renal disease).
Your renal arteries supply the kidneys with blood while the renal veins take it away back to the heart.
Yes the renal artery serves the kidney
