[Atherosclerotic or hypertensive nephropathy--case report].
Atherosclerotic nephropathy is actually taken into consideration as a potential cause of chronic renal failure of unknown origin in older patients with advanced systemic atherosclerosis (ATS), but this diagnosis is often ignored in young patients without evident symptoms of systemic ATS. On the case of 45 years old female with occasionally recognised renal failure, significant proteinuria and hypertension, without clinical symptoms of ATS we present problem of differentiation of atherosclerotic and hypertension cause of nephropathy.
