nephrosclerosis
sclerosis of renal arterioles and small arteries; it is strongly associated with hypertension
Ischemic injury to glomerulus, tubules and interstitium over a period of time
Malignant Nephrosclerosis due to hypertensive emergency >200mmHg leads to renal lesions and end organ damage
Hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis (onionskin lesion) on histology
Labs show Slowly progressive elevation in serum Creatinine, Mild proteinuria (1 g/day), No microscopic hematuria, Few progressing to ESRD for benign nephrosclerosis
Lab values for malignant nephrosclerosis - hematuria, proteinuria, creatinine, Fibrinoid
necrosis and intravascular thrombosis

Pharmacogenetics
N acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) Polymorphism
sulfamethazine (Sulmet), the antituberculosis drug isoniazid (Rifamate), dapsone (Dapsone) Hydralazine and procainamide can be Slow acetylators homozygous
for an autosomal recessive allele of the
enzyme, with lower activity levels which can lead to
Butyrylcholinesterase Polymorphism
Butyrylcholinesterase Polymorphisms cause Succinylcholine to not be metabolized effectively at the synapse which causes flaccid paralysis
CYP2D6 Polymorphism
poor, extensive and ultra metabolizers depend on the number of copies of the CYP2D6 gene
CYP2D6 metabolizes codeine, morphine, metoprolol, haloperidol, fluoxetine, imipramine, & desipramine, etc.
Thiopurine S methyltransferase Polymorphism
6-mercaptopurine anticancer drug is metabolized by thiopurine S methyltransferase
CYP2C9 polymorphisms can alter warfarin metabolism
