abnormal cell growth in the walls of renal arteries (non-atherosclerotic)

44
Q

what is usualy affected with FMD?

A

usually mis to distal RA’s affected

45
Q

what does FMD cause?

A

Q

what could happen if FMD is left untreated?

A

dissection could occur

Q

how is FMD shown on ultrasound?

A

  • FMD
  • HBP
  • diabetics
  • smokers
50
Q

how many measuements are taken of the kidneys?

A

3 (sag should be 9-12cm)

51
Q

what do we compare with echogenicity of the kidneys

A

A

sonographic index used to assess for renal artery disease but we do not use angle correct (intrarenal)
