Retrospective analysis of histopathological lesions in renal biopsies from hypertensive patients, suggesting careful interpretation of CKD causes.

Assess the prevalence of histopathological lesions related to hypertensive nephropathy in renal biopsies from hypertensive patients.
Retrospective study of renal biopsies performed from January 1, 2023, to February 28, 2025.
Evaluated 129 patients with documented hypertension at a nephrology center.
Analyzed associations between histopathological features and clinical data such as eGFR and proteinuria.
53 cases showed histopathological features consistent with hypertensive nephropathy.
Mean eGFR in patients with nephropathy characteristics was 36.7 ± 23.8 mL/min/1.73 m2 compared to 39.3 ± 26.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 in those without lesions.
Hypertensive retinopathy was present in 31 cases and left ventricular hypertrophy in 38 cases.
