Question 1

what to do if i have a question regarding the composition of the blood in the renal artery vs the renal vein?

Accepted Answer

What is the question: The renal artery carries blood to be filtered by the kidney.  Thus, it can have differences in electrolytes, metabolites, and other substances.  The kidney filters the blood, and "resets" the electrolytes.  It may also remove some substances into the urine.  Also, the renal vein will have less oxygen than the artery.

Question 2

what is the pathway of the blood from the renal artery to the renal vein?

Accepted Answer

Like : For any other organ / tissue the arteries bring blood, in this case the large renal artery, with oxygen and the waist products and splitsin the kidney  into smaller and smaller branches that become eventually capillaries that connect with the venous capillaries that join biger end bigger vessels ending in the large renal vein, a branch of the vena cava that will end in the right heart.

Question 3

an mra confirmed that i have nutcracker syndrome in my left renal vein and right hepatic artery arising from the proximal superior mesenteric artery. could this be the cause of my uncontrolled bp &hr?

Accepted Answer

Cause is underlying : The nutcracker syndrome does not usually cause BP and heart rate variations, but I noticed u have cardiolipin antibodies which can lead to autoimmune disorders and can cause blood clots. U definitely need an ECHO=ultrasound of u'r heart and further testing by ur primary doctor and even a rheumatologist

Question 4

cardiolipin igm tested high @30 and 12 weeks later high @19. history of miscarriage, blood clots, vailed renal vein bypass, migraines, leg swelling purplish, ibs and other. would you consider aps diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

: Elevated IGM cardiolipin levels are definitely associated with blood clotting disorders, miscarriages.  See a hematologist for guidance and treatment.

Question 5

pre-workout product mentioned that when it's consumed it enlarges arteries, veins&capillaries to maximize the blood flow for good results.dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Workout products: are usually nothing more than empty promises. There is no magic product which makes working out easier. If you weight train properly, stay at it consistently, stay hydrated, and eat properly (with a good balance of proteins), you will see results. Special products are just a way of getting your money by feeding on your desire for quick results.

Question 6

hi doctors. i have an appointment with my cardiologist. is there such a thing as a complete and full set of cardiology tests that i can have which would evaluate all of the total areas of my heart, the structure, the blood flow, the arteries, veins?

Accepted Answer

: No. It is not feasible to provide an definitive answer, especially if you are looking for 100% assurance of lack of any disorder or risk of disease.

Question 7

my husband is 38 and got diagnosed with renal artery thrombosis. all necessary blood test came out normal so we still dont know the cause of the blood clot. he is on eliquis 5mg bid. can eliquis cause high bp in the range of 145/105 usually?

Accepted Answer

Eliquis : Please ask your question of your doctor. The renal artery thrombosis can cause high blood pressure.

Question 8

i have a retroaortic left renal vein is that okay?

Accepted Answer

RLRV: Retroaortic left renal vein (RLRV) is an anatomical variant where the left renal vein is located between the aorta and the vertebra and drains into the inferior vena cava.Hematuria and inguinal or flank pain seem to be common in patients with RLRV. These symptoms can be because of pressure on the vein because of any reason

Question 9

is renal vein thrombosis painful?

Accepted Answer

No: Renal vein thrombosis is usually painless.

Question 10

can renal vein thrombosis be cured?

Accepted Answer

RVT: It all depends upon the cause.  If the cause is cancer then successful treatment of the cancer should "cure" the rvt.  If the cause is a disease in the kidney (eg. Most notably a disease called mebranous glomerulopathy) then it is not likely that there will be a "cure" since this form of kidney disease has no known "cure".  Anticoagulation can help to prevent worsening of the problem.
