Abstract

Chronic renal failure (CRF) due to bilateral renal artery stenosis or ischemic renal disease is an increasingly recognized and potentially reversible disorder. It has been reported that ischemic renal disease may be responsible for 5-22% of patients with advanced renal failure who are over the age of 50.
