Wcn24-2065 the Effect of the Presence of Multiple (accessory) Renal Arteries on Biochemical Parameters of Renal Function and Hemodynamic Measurements

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The prevalence of accessory or multiple renal arteries in the general population varies widely based on the population examined, from 4% in Malaysians to 61.5% in Brazilians. Still, the average global prevalence among adults is estimated to be around 30%. The closest geographical region closest to the Republic of Croatia with available data on the prevalence of accessory renal arteries is Bosnia and Herzegovina, where a 25.8% prevalence in adults is reported. The effect of having accessory renal arteries on hemodynamics and renal function has been studied in different population, yielding variable results – from a significant correlation between the presence of accessory renal arteries and increased arterial blood pressure and/or serum creatinine and renin to no correlation whatsoever.
