Morphometric evidence for impairment of renal autoregulation in advanced essential hypertension

Kidney International

Abstract

A morphometric study was performed on 22 renal biopsies from hypertensive patients with proteinuria and/or azotemia, with no evidence of other renal disease. These results were compared with our earlier study of normotensive aging kidneys. Afferent arterioles in hypertensive kidneys showed a significant increase in lumen diameter (15.7+/-4.9 vs 13.4+/-4.7 microm, P=0.0007) and wall area (1234+/-769 vs 998+/-445 microm(2), P=0.037), due primarily to shift in the distribution of arteriolar types, from predominantly normal toward predominantly hyaline arterioles in hypertension. Glomeruli were divided into four basic types: normal, hypertrophic, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) type, and sclerosing. Overall, glomeruli in hypertensive kidneys were much larger than in normotensive aging kidneys, for example, total capillary area (16 247+/-10 681 vs 11 624+/-5702 microm(2), P<0.00001). This increase was due primarily to an increase in size of each type, for example, for hypertrophic glomeruli: total capillary area (22 205+/-10 426 vs 15 349+/-4577 microm(2), P=0.0038). There was an excellent correlation between arteriolar lumen diameter and mean glomerular capillary area for hypertrophic/FSGS-type glomeruli (r=0.4778, P=0.00...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
