ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerulosclerosis refers to scarring or hardening of the glomeruli–blood vessels located in the kidneys. The glomeruli filter the blood as it passes through the kidneys. They remove waste fluids that then leave the body as urine. Damaged glomeruli can’t perform their job adequately.

Detailed explanation-2: -nephrosclerosis, hardening of the walls of the small arteries and arterioles (small arteries that convey blood from arteries to the even smaller capillaries) of the kidney. This condition is caused by hypertension (high blood pressure).

Detailed explanation-3: -Glomerulosclerosis is scarring of the filtering part of the kidneys (glomerulus). This causes a loss of protein into the urine. These proteins help fluid stay within the blood vessels. Without them, fluid leaks into the nearby tissue causing swelling.

Detailed explanation-4: -Definitions of nephroangiosclerosis. kidney disease that is usually associated with hypertension; sclerosis of the renal arterioles reduces blood flow that can lead to kidney failure and heart failure. synonyms: nephrosclerosis. type of: kidney disease, nephropathy, nephrosis, renal disorder.
