How are Vascular Pathologies in the Kidney Identified?
Vascular pathologies in the kidney include conditions like hypertensive nephrosclerosis and renal artery stenosis. In hypertensive nephrosclerosis, there is thickening and hyalinization of the arterial walls, leading to narrowed lumens and ischemic damage. Renal artery stenosis is identified by the narrowing of renal arteries, reducing blood flow to the kidneys, and can cause ischemic injury to renal tissues.
