Alternate Names : Atherosclerotic Renal Vascular Disease, Renal Artery Embolism, Cholesterol Embolism, Renal Artery Aneurysm

Atheroembolic Renal Disease | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What can be done to prevent the disease?

Some cases of atheroembolic renal disease cannot be prevented. Other times, the following steps may prevent the disease:

  • control of blood glucose levels, if the person has diabetes
  • control of high blood pressure
  • a heart-healthy diet
  • regular exercise
  • monitoring and treating cholesterol as needed
  • smoking cessation as needed
  • What are the long-term effects of the disease?

    Long-standing high blood pressure can cause heart attacks, strokes, and death. Untreated atheroembolic disease may also cause kidney failure. Blood clots can rupture, causing dramatic blood loss. This may lead to shock, and even death.

    What are the risks to others?

    Atheroembolic disease is not contagious and poses no risk to others.
