Classification
Hypertensive nephropathy is classified according to disease severity and histological finding into two subtypes[1]:
- Benign nephrosclerosis
- It often occurs in the benign phase of essential hypertension.
- It is characterized by Hyaline accumulation in the renal arterioles leading to afferent arteriolar narrowing.
- Malignant nephrosclerosis
- It occurs in the malignant phase of essential hypertension, which is defined by a sudden elevation of blood pressure along with multi-organ damage such as papilledema, central nervous system involvement, cardiac decompensation, and progressive renal failure.
- It is characterized by fibrinoid necrosis in the afferent arterioles.
