Question:

Fibromuscular dysplasia accounts for what percentage of renal artery stenosis?
1. Less than 1%.
2. Less than 10%.
3. About 30%.
4. About 50%.
5. More than 90%.





Answer:

The correct answer for the question "Fibromuscular dysplasia accounts for what percentage of renal artery stenosis?" is:

2. Less than 10%.



Explanation
[Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare non-inflammatory, non-atherosclerotic disease characterized by muscular hyperplasia in one or more layers and accounting for less than 10% of renal artery stenosis].

Abstract
We report on a patient with terminal renal insufficiency undergoing hemodialysis since four months. Imaging studies showed complete renal artery occlusion of a single kidney with collateral perfusion. Interventional recanalization of the renal artery was successful with a drop of serum creatinine from 1138 to 163 mol/l sparing the patient from further hemodialysis.
