Abstract

Renal vascular diseases are the most common forms of renal injury as well as the most common renal abnormalities encountered in nephrectomy specimens and at autopsy. Of these diseases, hypertension-associated injury leads the list by far. There is an important reciprocal renal–cardiovascular axis that has been recognized for over a century; severe or prolonged hypertension may damage the kidneys, and severely damaged kidneys, from whatever cause, may produce severe hypertension.
