'Benign' essential hypertension and kidney damage: a histopathologist's view.
The kidney is damaged in people with hypertension and clinical renal disorders. The damage may be explained by chronic renal ischaemia, but there is no rigorous proof that hypertension damages a previously normal kidney. Indeed there are ideas that the kidney is abnormal from the start in hypertensive people.
