ABSTRACT
Renal angiography has applications in the diagnosis of renal tumor and renovascular hypertension, and provides important anatomical information that can influence the surgical management. Recently the approach to the vascular system for diagnosis by means of Seldinger technique hag been expended to include a variety of therapeutic manner. So, embolization of renal carcinoma is being used with increasing frequency. Radiologic findings associated with presenting symptoms and signs were analysed in 51 cases of renal angiography, during the period of October 1978 to October 1982. The following results were obtained. 1. Male to female ratio was approximately 11 and peak incidence was in the sixth decade. 2. The main symptoms and signs of patients were hematuria, flank pain, hypertension and palpable mass, in order of frequency. 3. In 7 hypertensive patients with delayed visualization on the excretory urogram. angiography shows 2 cases of renal artery stenosis, one case of Takayasu's disease and absence of abnormal vasculature in 4 cases. 4. It is suggested most valuable technique for correct diagnosis of renal vascular disease. some of other congenital anomalies, and renal vascular mapping for renal surgery.
