Medical Therapy

The following are the list of medications indicated for patients with RAS with their corresponding level of evidence, based on ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of PAD[1]


Medication Class Level of Evidence
ACE-Inhibitors A
Calcium Channel Blockers A
Beta-Blockers A
Thiazide Diuretics A
ARB B


Patients with RAS are recommended to start pharmacologic therapy using ACE-I or CCB, both of which have been proven effective not only for lowering blood pressure values, but also for nephroprotection.[2][3][4][5][1] Other well-established therapies for lowering blood pressures in RAS are beta-blockers, chlorothiazides, and hydrazine.[1]

Although the role of ARBs is known in lowering BP, there are currently no reliable trials that validate the use of ARBs in RAS. As such, further investigation is required.[1]

2005 ACCF/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease (Lower Extremity, Renal, Mesenteric, and Abdominal Aortic) (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Medical Treatment (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I
"1. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are effective medications for treatment of hypertension associated with unilateral RAS. (Level of Evidence: A)"
"2. Angiotensin receptor blockers are effective medications for treatment of hypertension associated with unilateral RAS. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"3. Calcium-channel blockers are effective medications for treatment of hypertension associated with unilateral RAS. (Level of Evidence: A)"
"4. Beta-blockers are effective medications for treatment of hypertension associated with RAS. (Level of Evidence: A)"
