Key result
Although lateralizing renin data are highly predictive of operative benefit in unilateral renal artery stenosis, 23 patients with nonlateralizing data also benefited from corrective surgery.

Nonlateralizing renin data do not preclude operative benefit; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Does lateralizing renin data accurately predict operative benefit in patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis?
Although lateralizing renin data are highly predictive of operative benefit in renal artery stenosis, nonlateralizing data do not necessarily herald operative failure and should not be used to exclude surgical intervention.
M H Maxwell (1977) conducted a cohort in Unilateral renal artery stenosis (n=148). Renal vein and peripheral renin levels vs. Nonlateralizing renin data was evaluated on Operative benefit. Although lateralizing renin data are highly predictive of operative benefit in unilateral renal artery stenosis, 23 patients with nonlateralizing data also benefited from corrective surgery.
