In what way does the composition of the blood in the renal artery differ from the renal vein?
The renal artery takes blood to the kidney. The renal vein takes blood away from the kidney. In the kidney, the waste product urea is filtered out of the blood. So the main difference is in the amount of urea in the blood: high in the renal artery and low in the renal vein.
How is renal angiogram performed?
the guide wire and catheter are inserted into the femoral artery in the groin area and advanced through the abdominal aorta, the main artery in the abdomen, and into the renal arteries
What are some symptoms of carotid stenosis?
Carotid Stenosis effects a person arteries throughout sections of their body. The main symptom is the constricting or narrowing of the internal surface of the artery.
What main vessel transports blood to the kidney and where does it get the blood supply?
The renal artery brings blood to the kidney.

What blocks blood flow to the kidneys?
The kidneys need a good blood supply. The main artery to the kidney is called the renal artery. Reduced blood flow through the renal artery can hurt kidney function. A complete blockage of blood flow to the kidney can often result in permanent kidney failure.
What is the leading cause of pericarditis in the elderly?
Malignancy or renal failure are the main causes of this disorder in the elderly.
How many tubes do you see protruding from kidney?
Typically, there are two main tubes that protrude from each kidney: the ureters. These tubes transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. In addition, blood vessels such as the renal artery and renal vein also connect to the kidneys, but they are not considered tubes for urine transport.
Main blood vessel beginning with A?
artery artery
What are the three main regions of the kidney in their correct sequence from outermost to innermost?
renal cortex > renal medulla > renal pelvis1.renal medulla>renal pelvis>renal cortex2.renal medulla>renal cortex>renal pelvis3.renal cortex>renal medulla>renal pelvis4.renal cortex>renal pelvis>renal medulla
What is the main organ of the artery?
An artery is a part of the circulatory system, the main organ could be considered the heart
What is a significant coronary lesion?
A significant coronary lesion is a narrowing or blockage in a coronary artery that impairs blood flow to the heart muscle, typically defined as a stenosis of 70% or greater in a major artery or 50% or greater in the left main coronary artery. This level of obstruction can lead to ischemia, angina, or even myocardial infarction (heart attack) if not addressed. Identifying significant lesions is crucial for determining the need for interventions like angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting.
