What Are the Potential Consequences of Untreated Glomerular Hypertension?
If left untreated, glomerular hypertension can lead to progressive kidney damage. This includes glomerulosclerosis, where the glomeruli become scarred and lose their filtering ability. Over time, this can result in chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease, necessitating dialysis or kidney transplantation. Therefore, early identification and management of glomerular hypertension, particularly in cases of toxicological exposure, are crucial to preserving kidney function.
