Next lecture was by Dr.Alkesh Jain(cardiologist at Gokuldas hospital).He spoke on "management of renal artery stenosis".It was discussed that not all renal artery stenosis needs intervention and not all renal interventions cure hypertension.We have to establish whether renal artery stenosis is significant and causing ischemia,whether kidneys are viable and functioning.This session was chaired by Dr.G.Kawthekar and Dr.Idris A Khan.
