Renal artery stenosis frequently goes undetected until it is advanced. The illness might be identified by chance while being tested for something else. If you experience any of the following symptoms, your doctor may detect a problem.
High blood pressure that appears out of nowhere or worsens without explanation
High blood pressure that appears before the age of 30 or beyond the age of 50
Other indications and symptoms of renal artery stenosis may include:
A whooshing sound produced by blood flowing through a constricted channel (bruit), as heard by your doctor with a stethoscope placed over your kidneys.
Protein levels in the urine that are higher than usual, or other symptoms of impaired kidney function
Kidney function deterioration following high blood pressure therapy
Fluid retention and edema in the tissues of your body
Heart failure resistant to treatment
