But my renal Doppler is showing high PSV in renal artery and my cardiologist want me to undergo Renal Angiography and after this I am hesitating to visit him but i am continuing his medicine. Should I undergo Renal Angiography according to my cardiologist or CT Renal Angio according to Nephrologist??

Both can be done, one is invasive procedure and other is noninvasive. If there is no problem then CT renal angio is enough. But if CT angio is showing significant disease then Conventional angiography would be required
