Risk factors for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis and its nursing intervention

Objective To study the risk factors for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis（ARAS）,and detect the renal function and serum lipid indexes of its patients in order to provide nursing intervention for them.Methods Serum lipid indexes and renal function of 80 ARAS patients and 72 healthy controls were retrospectively analyzed with their nursing intervention measures summarized.Results The incidence of hypertension,coronary artery disease,chronic renal dysfunction and hyperlipidemia was significantly higher in ARAS patients than in healthy controls（P＜0.01）.The levels of BUN,SCr,TC and HDL were significantly higher in ARAS patients than in healthy controls（P＜0.01）.The control rate of hypertension,coronary artery disease,chronic renal dysfunction and hyperlipidemia was 95.15%,80.77%,74.19% and 93.44%,respectively,after nursing intervention measures were taken for the patients with such diseases.Conclusion Hypertension,coronary artery disease,chronic renal dysfunction and hyperlipidemia are the risk factors for ARAS.Proper nursing intervention measures patients with such diseases can control the different risk factors for ARAS.
