Renal Artery Stenosis: Is Kidney Damage

We are very well aware that cholesterol can damage the arteries of the heart making you a heart patient. But did you know that cholesterol can actually damage your kidneys as will. This form of damage is called a renal artery stenosis in which the blood carrying arteries that reaches to your kidneys (renal arteries) narrows down. Narrowing of the arteries prevents the normal amount of oxygen-rich blood from reaching your kidneys.
