Nurses play a pivotal role in the early detection and management of RAS. Diagnostic procedures include:
Doppler Ultrasound: Non-invasive imaging technique to evaluate blood flow in the renal arteries. CT or MRI Angiography: Advanced imaging methods to provide detailed views of the blood vessels. Renal Arteriography: Considered the gold standard for diagnosing RAS, this invasive procedure involves injecting contrast dye to visualize the arteries.
