Renal artery stenosis, atheromatous embolization to the kidneys, renal vein thrombosis, and renal infarction are the principal vascular disorders of the kidney. Renal artery stenosis is usually atherosclerotic in origin and treated with antihypertensive medications. By comparison, fibromuscular renal artery stenosis responds well to interventional therapies, which may even cure the hypertension. Atheromatous renal embolization is usually a sequela of an intra-arterial intervention and portends a poor prognosis. Renal vein thrombosis is often related to a hypercoagulable state, such as seen in the nephrotic syndrome, but can also be caused by trauma or tumor.
