3 Figure 2 Factors influencing in the development of nephrosclerosis. Initiators could be genetic, an intrinsic abnormality of preglomerular microvasculature, and/or a congenital reduction in nephron number. In the elderly, the aging process could be accelerated by concomitant cardiovascular disease and/or atherosclerotic aortorenal changes. Other conditions (gray shadowed) could act as aggravating factors. Kidney International  , S52-S56DOI: ( /j x) Copyright © 2005 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
