In the presence of renal artery stenosis, the resistance in the afferent arteriole is increased. As compensation, Angiotensin II acts to constrict the efferent arteriole in order to achieve adequate profusion of the glomerulus. ACE inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Without its vasoconstrictive effect, the efferent arteriole becomes dilated. This leads to a drop in GFR and may lead to renal failure.

What does No hemodynamically significant renal artery stenosis mean?
"No hemodynamically significant renal artery stenosis" means that the narrowing of the renal artery is not severe enough to affect blood flow significantly to the kidneys. This indicates that the kidneys are receiving adequate blood supply, which is important for their function. In clinical terms, it suggests that the stenosis is unlikely to cause symptoms or complications related to kidney function or blood pressure.
