Abstract
Nephroangiosclerosis or kidney disease that accompanies chronic essential arterial hypertension has been known for more than a hundred years. The definitive diagnosis is established by renal biopsy, which is reserved for doubtful cases or atypical presentation, being in most cases a presumptive clinical diagnosis. The objective of this review is to analyse the main controversies that currently exist related to nephroangiosclerosis: inaccuracy in epidemiological aspects (prevalence and incidence unknown), diagnostic difficulties and lack of correlation studies between clinical data and histopathology, progression factors in Caucasians. Currently, with advances in genetic studies in hypertension, not using or redefining the term hypertensive kidney disease for another condition such as nephropathy related to the present genetic alteration is being considered.
