How Does Nephrosclerosis Lead to Chronic Renal Failure
Nephrosclerosis, Hardening of the Walls of the Small Arteries and Arterioles (Small Arteries That Convey Blood from Arteries to the Even Smaller Capillaries)...
nephrosclerosis, hardening of the walls of the small arteries and arterioles (small arteries that convey blood from arteries to the even smaller capillaries) of the kidney. This condition is caused by hypertension (high blood pressure).
What is chronic Nephrosclerosis?
Abstract. Hypertensive nephrosclerosis (HN) is defined as chronic kidney disease caused by nonmalignant hypertension (HTN). HN is the presumed underlying disease in 10–30% of patients with end-stage renal disease worldwide. HN typically presents without proteinuria or any abnormalities in the urine sediment.
