Description
Summary:	Ischemic nephropathy could be complicated with hypertension and acute worsening of chronic renal failure secondary to ACE inhibitors or AT receptor antagonist treatments and arterial occlusion. We describe a patient with bilateral renal artery stenosis and hypertension treated with ATI receptor antagonist (valsartan) that developed rapid worsening of renal function that required dialysis. Percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty and stenting, complemented with hydratation and valsartan suppression achieves rapid and sustained recovery of renal function.
