Clinicopathological correlation in biopsy‐proven atherosclerotic nephropathy: implications for renal functional outcome in atherosclerotic renovascular disease.

Background. Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) is commonly associated with renal failure. It is now recognized that intrarenal damage, (ischaemic or atherosclerotic nephropathy) is a major contributor to the renal impairment in these patients. In this study the impact of histological changes upon renal functional outcome was investigated in patients with atherosclerotic nephropathy. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
