The kidney in essential hypertension. Victim or culprit.

چکیده
THE frequent association of hypertension and intrinsic renal diseases has been universally recognized, and more recently a relationship has been demonstrated between hypertension and the concurrence of major renal artery disease and specific renal functional abnormalities. In searching for the etiology of essential hypertension, it seems logical, therefore, to consider the possibility that here also the kidney may play a causal role. In examining this thesis, we have found renal functional abnormalities which suggest that essential hypertension may arise from an alteration in perfusion of the kidney differing only in extent and site from that in renal artery stenosis. We are presenting here a brief summary of the evidence bearing on the guilt or innocence of the kidney in essential hypertension. The high incidence of renal arteriolosclerosis in patients with established hypertensive disease has been cited to support the thesis that disease of the smaller renal vessels plays a primary role in the causation of hypertension.1 Moritz and Oldt2 re-examined this relationship in 100 patients with well-established hypertension of many years' duration and in a well-controlled study found renal arteriolosclerosis at necropsy in 97%. Absence of arteriolosclerosis, on the other hand, may just as reasonably be offered as evidence

Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is defined as the presence of recurrent arterial or venous thrombosis and/or pregnancy morbidity and persistently elevated levels of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) [1]. APS is classified as being primary if autoimmunity is negative, and secondary when it occurs in the course of an autoimmune disease, most often systemic lupus erythematosus [2]. In the origina...

Essential hypertension is one of the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension etiology is not completely known, it seems that rennin-Angiotensin system has an important role in its etiology, Thus better recognition of this system and its activity changes or vascular reaction changes to different parts of this system during progressive hypertension can be more effective in better re...
متن کاملThe kidney: both culprit and victim.
Today, it is universally acknowledged that, in hypertension, the kidney is both culprit and victim.1 Kidney malfunction causes hypertension, and hypertension, in turn, aggravates chronic kidney disease (CKD) and accelerates its progression. High blood pressure (frank hypertension and blood pressure values in the high normal range) are clearly correlated to progressive kidney injury, both in exp...
