Key result
The review challenges the dogma that hypertensive kidney disease is a leading cause of end-stage renal failure, emphasizing its lack of specificity and very low prevalence in kidney biopsy registries.
Why the study?
Hypertensive kidney disease is widely considered a leading cause of end-stage renal failure, but this dogma is challenged by non-specific clinical presentations, low biopsy-confirmed prevalence, and an unclear sequence of events in concomitant hypertension and CKD.
