Abstract
Ischaemic renal injury is characterized by a sustained, chronic decrease of arterial blood flow to the kidney in the setting of renovascular atherosclerotic disease and is becoming one of the main causes of end-stage renal disease. Progresion of renal atherosclerosis is critical for prognostic purposes. Prospective studies showed the high prevalence and progressive nature of atherosclerotic lesions at the level of the renal arteries. Renal arterial disease is present in 15% to 23% of patients undergoing cononary angiography and in 45% to 50% of patients undergoing angiography for lower exrremity peripheral vascular disease. The main reason why some patients present with a more rapid deterioration of real function with equivalent degrees of renovascular stenosis and arterial hypertension is still unknown. Multiple studies have shown elevated homocystein levels in patients with cononary, cerebrovascular, or peripheral arterial disease; this association is frequent and independent of most risk factors for atherosclerosis. No date about homocystein as a risk factor for progresive renovascular disease are avaible. In the project we plan to ascertain the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia and its value as an indicator of risk in patients with progressive renovascular ischaemic disease. We plan to determine whether vascular disease is related to hyperhomocşteinemia independetly of classic risk factors. Data will be the basic for clinical trials to establish whether vitamin suplementation which reverse high levels of homocystein will affect the evolution of the renovascular occlusive disease.
