 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis with high sensitivity Creactive protein correlation Of: Shen Changqing Wang Ye Lu Xuemei Gao Zhen Yan Qiu Guohong Yang Lei side factors Keywords: Renal artery stenosis; Atherosclerosis; C reactive protein Chronic inflammation is atherosclerosis (AS) an important mechanism for the occurrence and development. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs CRP) is an important indicator of inflammation, and coronary atherosclerosis is closely related to the occurrence and development 1. In this study, hs CRP with AS renal artery stenosis (ARAS) of relevance to understanding the role of inflammation in the ARAS, provide the basis for the prevention and treatment of ARAS. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 The object of study from January 2005 to January 2007 in the Department of Cardiology, PLA General Hospital patient underwent selective renal artery angiography in 100 patients, based on history, physical examination and imaging characteristics of patients to exclude non-ARAS. 74 cases were male and 26 female patients aged 52 to 78 (mean 64.55 12.94) years. 1.2 arteriography Methods Judkins technique through the femoral artery approach for coronary angiography, left ventricular angiography retracement of the catheter to the body of the first lumbar Selective left renal arteriography, anteroposterior projection location choice, as Ultravist contrast agent . After imaging by two experienced physicians of imaging results. Renal artery stenosis according to whether the groups were divided into normal group and narrow. In which 36 patients with normal renal arteries, 25 male patients (69.44%) and 11 females (30.56%); ARAS 64 patients, 49 males (76.56%) and 15 females (23.44%). If there is no similar fibromuscular dysplasia characteristic beaded change or arteritis history, consider AS stenosis caused. 1.3 hs CRP determination based on the immune turbidimetric latex method principle, using H
