Hyaline arteriolosclerosis of the kidney
Hypertension** and **diabetes mellitus

What causes this leasion?

Hyaline arteriolosclerosis of the kidney

-Chronic hypertension leads to reactive changes in the smaller arteries and arterioles throughout the body.
These changes are collectively referred to as arteriosclerosis.
-In the arterioles, the alterations are also known as arteriolosclerosis
Hyaline arteriolosclerosis of the kidney
What happens to the wall of the arterioles ?

- The wall of the arterioles is thickened by the deposition of basement membrane material and by the accumulation of plasma proteins
- The arterioles exhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation and increased amounts of intercellular* *collagen* and *glycosaminoglycans*, resulting in an *onion-skin appearance

Identify:
Glomeruli afferent arteriole:

Hyaline arteriolosclerosis of the kidney
_Glomeruli afferent arteriol_e:
- Hyaline arteriosclerosis in benign nephrosclerosis (benign hypertension)
- -Hyperplastic arteriosclerosis* in malignant hypertension:
a. Fibrinoid necrosis
b. Proliferation of intima with myxoid change

Hyaline arteriolosclerosis of the kidney
Microscopically;
The small muscular arteries display new layers of elastin.
Presenting as a reduplication of the internal elastic lamina* and *increased connective tissue

Hyaline arteriolosclerosis of the kidney
Macroscopically:

Macroscopically
- Thickening and hyalinization of the wall
- Smooth muscle cell proliferation – onion skin
- Narrowing of the lumen, regional scars in kidney parenchyma

Most frequent: Heart patients, common in DM
