A Study of Morphological Changes in Renal Afferent Arterioles Induced by Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockers in Hypertensive Patients

We consider that these morphological changes in arterioles are induced by ARBs/ACEIs. These changes could induce an important suppression of glomerular hyperfiltration and could lead to glomerular ischemia. However, the clinical consequences of these morphological changes in correlation with ARBs/ACEIs were not sufficiently clear and require further analysis. We should consider renal arteriolar morphological changes when using ARBs/ACEIs.
