She also describes shortness of breath when she lies down to go to bed at night, as well as recent swelling in her ankles. Past medical history is significant for long-standing hypertension, for which she takes amlodipine and lisinopril. Her temperature is 36.8C 98.2F, the heart rate is 90min, the respiratory rate is 15min, and the blood pressure is 13580 mm Hg. The physical exam is significant for JVD, lower extremity pitting edema, laterally displaced PMI, left ventricular heave, bilateral pulmonary crackles, and an S4 heart sound. Chest X-ray demonstrates pulmonary vascular congestion, Kerley B lines, and cardiomegaly. Echocardiogram demonstrates a preserved ejection fraction. Kidney biopsy would likely demonstrate which of the following?? A: Intimal thickening and medial hypertrophy, B: Thinning of the intima and media, C: Fibrinoid necrosis, D: Nodular sclerosis, E: Onion-skinning,  <response>: This is a clinical vignette describing a 60-year-old African American woman with symptoms and signs consistent with heart failure, including shortness of breath, orthopnea, lower extremity edema, jugular venous distension, displaced PMI, pulmonary crackles, and an S4 heart sound. She has a history of long-standing hypertension. The chest X-ray shows pulmonary congestion and cardiomegaly. An echocardiogram shows preserved ejection fraction, indicating heart failure with preserved ejection fraction HFpEF. The question asks which kidney biopsy finding would likely be present in this patient. The history of long-standing hypertension makes chronic kidney disease a consideration. Choices A and B describe changes seen in chronic kidney disease - intimal thickening, medial hypertrophy, and thinning of the intima and media. Choice C describes changes seen in lupus nephritis. Choices D and E describe changes seen in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Given this patients history of hypertension, choices A or B describing vascular changes of chronic kidney disease are most likely. Of these, choice A best matches the typical findings of hypertensive nephrosclerosis.A: Intimal thickening and medial hypertrophy
