Fibromuscular dysplasia (right renal artery)
Updates to Case Attributes
FMDFibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disease that causes abnormal growth within the vessel wall. It It can involve the intima, media or adventitia.
The medial medial type is characterized by thickening of the media with collagen formation. It accounts for the vast majority of cases.

Updates to Study Attributes
Localized gross turbulence and increased peak systolic velocity to 600cm600 cm/sec in the proximal right renal artery (with normal origin and more distal renal artery profiles).
Left renal artery also has normal flow velocities.
Updates to Study Attributes
Typical "beaded" appearance to the right renal artery as seen in fibromuscular dysplasia. Note Note that the right kidney is a little smaller than the left and that the left renal artery is normal as are other branches of the abdominal aorta.
