What Does CT Scan Of Kidney As Inflamed Artery Indicative Of?

Yesterday I had a CT Scan done focusing on my right kidney. They told me I had a severely inflamed artery and it affects the blood vessels. Do I need to call my doctor back for the specific name of the artery? Or would you know based on them focusing on my right kidney?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i fully understand your anxiety.
A CECT(contrast enhanced CT),focussing on the right kidney, is also called an renal angiogram. Severely inflamed renal(kidney) artery, affecting the blood vessels,is due to renal artery stenosis commonly, or due to arteritis,which's uncommon. The stenosis(narrowing)may be located, at the main branch or in it's divisions.The angioplasty(stenting),is carried out simultaneously,or as a planned surgery later, depending on kidney function.
If you want my expert opinion,send scan report,as a direct question,to me.
