Increases vascular resistance

4. Tx includes lifelong dialysis
Renal artery stenosis
1. atherosclerosis of renal arteries
2. may cause secondary HTN
Which primary disease of the kidney is the most common cause of ESRD?
Diabetic nephropathy

NOTE: this dz. also causes albuminuria.
Chronic renal failure (CRF)
Progressive and irreversible
At what GFR would ESRD would result in dialysis?
GFR < 25 mL/min
Stages of Chronic Renal Disease
1. GFR > 90 ==> kidney damage with normal GFR.

2. GFR = 60-89 ==> kidney damage with mildly dec. GFR.

3. GFR = 30-95 ==> moderately dec. GFR.
