Renal artery stenosis in a young female without fibromuscular dysplasia with literature review

Abstract

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is rare in young patients without fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). RAS is primarily classified as having two major etiologies, namely, atherosclerosis and FMD, with 90% and 10%, respectively. We report a case of a female in her mid 20s who developed hyperten-sion due to RAS with no evidence of FMD or underlying renal dysfunction and underwent successful angioplasty and stenting.
