Abstract

Arterial hypertension (HTN) is commonly encountered by clinicians treating children with steroid sensitive (SSNS) and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). Although the prevalence of HTN in SSNS is less documented than in SRNS, recent studies reported high prevalence in both. Studies have estimated the prevalence of HTN in different patient populations with NS to range from 8 to 59.1%. Ambulatory HTN, abnormalities in BP circadian rhythm, and measures of BP variability are prevalent in patients with NS. Multiple mechanisms and co-morbidities contribute to the pathophysiology of HTN in children with NS. Some contributing factors are known to cause acute and episodic elevations in blood pressure such as fluid shifts, sodium retention, and medication side effects (steroids, CNIs). Others are associated with chronic and more sustained HTN such as renal fibrosis, decreased GFR, and progression of chronic kidney disease. Children with NS are more likely to suffer from other cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as obesity, increased measures of arterial stiffness [increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), endothelial dysfunction, increased pulse wave velocity (PWV)], impaired glucose metabolism, dyslipidemia, left v...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
