Arterial disease: This refers to the blockage of any of the arteries to the kidneys. There can be multiple arteries to each kidney. Diagnosed with a cta or mra or arteriogram that takes a picture of the aorta. This leads to difficult to control high blood pressure (hypertension). It is able to be corrected by a procedure that dilates the artery with a balloon and sometimes requires the placement of a stent.
