Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A patient has hypertension due to renal arteriosclerosis. Why would this cause hypertension?
A
The patient would excrete too much urine
B
The patient would excrete too much salt
C
The patient has too much stress
D
The filtration of the kidney has declined because of blockage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Renal artery stenosis is narrowing of the one or both of renal arteries. It is the major cause of hypertension and according to some reports is the cause of hypertension in 1% to 10% of the 50 million people in the United States. Atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia most often cause it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypertension (HTN) is ubiquitous in the renal failure patient. It has long been thought that renal disease interferes with salt excretion, leading to volume overload and consequent hypertension. This theory gives prominence to the kidney in long-term regulation of blood pressure (BP).

Detailed explanation-3: -Over time, high blood pressure harms renal blood vessels Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause arteries around the kidneys to narrow, weaken or harden. These damaged arteries are not able to deliver enough blood to the kidney tissue. Damaged kidney arteries don’t filter blood well.
