Factors Associated with Outcomes of Percutaneous Transluminal Renal Angioplasty in Patients with Renal Artery Stenosis: A Retrospective Analysis of 50 Consecutive Cases

Table 2

Univariate analysis of predictive and confounding factors for successful reduction of blood pressure. Successful reduction of BP was defined as reduction in mean BP of 5 mmHg or more, or reduction of antihypertensive dose. Logistic regression analysis, other parameters were analyzed with the chi-square test. Plasma renin activity and eGFR were analyzed after log conversion. BP: blood pressure; BMI: body mass index; IGT: impaired glucose tolerance; DM: diabetes mellitus; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate.
