Renal artery dissection is a vascular condition involving a tear in the wall of the renal artery. When presentation is asymptomatic or falls into the uncomplicated symptomatic category, the initial management strategy is well defined by current evidence.
For asymptomatic or uncomplicated symptomatic renal artery dissection, the recommended first-line strategy is conservative in nature, centred on controlling a key haemodynamic parameter and reducing thrombotic risk. The full structured regimen — including specific agents, targets, and monitoring — is available in the complete protocol.
Conservative management with blood pressure control and antiplatelet therapy is recommended as first line strategy for patients with asymptomatic or uncomplicated symptomatic renal artery dissection.
