| Abstract: | - When performed by experienced clinicians, renal nerve denervation (RND) can be done with very low risk of complication and/or acute renal injury
- Renal function seems to remain unchanged in this small series over 3 years
- More studies are needed to establish the role of renal biomarkers in assessment of acute renal injury in this setting and larger series of RND in azotemic patients should be done before the procedure indications can be expanded
