Calcification of the intrarenal branches of the renal arteries.
Mild to extensive calcification of the intrarenal branches of the renal arteries seen in 13 patients over a period of 12 months is described. This type of renal vascular calcification appeared to be associated with generalised atherosclerosis in patients of advancing age. The association of diabetes mellitus and intrarenal arterial calcification could not be supported by the cases presented here.
