There are numerous tests and procedures involved in the detection of renal artery stenosis. Renal artery stenosis is best diagnosed with MRA(Magnetic resonance Imaging), Doppler ultrasound, Computed tomography, renal scintigraphy, peripheral renin levels, and renal vein sampling. Though these all modalities are used for making the diagnosis but still renal vein sampling, renal scintigraphy is not the first choice for making the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis because of their low sensitivity and specificity which is around 38-40.
