'''Hypertensive nephropathy''' (or "hypertensive nephrosclerosis", or "Hypertensive renal disease") is a medical condition referring to damage to the [[kidney]] due to chronic [[high blood pressure]].
{{SK}} Hypertensive nephrosclerosis


It should be distinguished from "[[renovascular hypertension]]" (I15.0), which is a form of [[secondary hypertension]].
==[[Hypertensive nephropathy overview|Overview]]==


In the kidneys, as a result of ''benign [[arterial hypertension]]'', [[hyaline]] (pink, amorphous, homogeneous material) accumulates in the wall of small arteries and arterioles, producing the thickening of their walls and the narrowing of the [[Lumen (anatomy)|lumen]]s — hyaline [[arteriolosclerosis]]. Consequent [[ischemia]] will produce [[tubular atrophy]], [[interstitial fibrosis]], glomerular alterations (smaller [[glomeruli]] with different degrees of hyalinization - from mild to sclerosis of glomeruli) and periglomerular fibrosis. In advanced stages, [[renal failure]] will occur. Functional nephrons have dilated tubules, often with hyaline [[casts]] in the lumens.
