Changes in inflammatory biomarkers after renal revascularization in atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis

Conclusions
These divergent patterns of inflammatory signals are consistent with cell cycle arrest (TIMP-2, IGFBP7) and relative protection from acute kidney injury after imaging and stenting. Sustained basal elevation of circulating and renal venous inflammatory biomarkers support ongoing, possibly episodic, renal stress in ARAS that limits toxicity from stent revascularization.
