nephrosclerosis
Hypertensive kidney disease is a medical condition referring to damage to the kidney due to chronic high blood pressure. It manifests as hypertensive nephrosclerosis (sclerosis referring to the stiffening of renal components). It should be distinguished from renovascular hypertension, which is a form of secondary hypertension, and thus has opposite direction of causation.

Nephrosclerosis is a medical condition characterized by a hardening or thickening of the walls of the small arteries and arterioles (tiny blood vessels) within the kidneys. This condition restricts blood flow to the kidney tissues, potentially leading to kidney damage or kidney failure over time. It is often associated with hypertension or diabetes.
