<prompt> Answer this question truthfullyCan you explain the pathophysiology of hypertensive nephropathy?  <response>: <reason> Kidney injury from benign and malignant hypertension results in benign and malignant nephrosclerosis, respectively.Benign Nephrosclerosis: The size of the kidneys is reduced or shrunken with loss of cortical mass and fine granularity. Malignant nephrosclerosis: Hemorrhages from surface capillaries gives the kidney a flea-bitten appearance.Benign nephrosclerosis: Afferent arterioles have eosinophilic fibrin deposits in the wall, causing hyaline arteriosclerosis Malignant nephrosclerosis: Fibrinoid necrosis in afferent arteriole Hyperplastic arteriosclerosis in inter-lobar arterioles Sclerosis in glomeruli and renal tubulesFigure 1.
