hypertensive nephropathy
Hypertensive nephropathy refers to kidney damage caused by long-term high blood pressure. It occurs when consistently elevated blood pressure exerts excess force on the blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to functional and structural abnormalities in these organs. This condition can impair kidney function and potentially result in chronic kidney disease.
