What is a renal angiogram
A renal angiogram or renal arteriogram is an imaging study of the arteries which supply the kidneys with blood. This type of imaging study is ordered when a patient is experiencing kidney problems or is believed to be at risk of a kidney disorder. It takes place in a hospital or clinic with angiography facilities, and the length of time required for the procedure varies. Patients are usually encouraged to arrange for a ride home after the procedure, as they may feel groggy.
