Sympathetic Renal Innervation and Resistant Hypertension

Table 2

Prevalence of hypertension secondary to underlying renal parenchymal disease.

Acute renal failure	40%
caused by glomerular-vascular disease	73%–90%
caused by tubulointerstitial disease	10%–15%
Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis	60%–80%
Primary focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis	45% nephrotic
	65% non-nephrotic
Minimal-change disease	Rare
Membranous glomerulonephritis	10%
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis	30%
Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis	33%
IgA nephropathy	25%–36%
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease	50%–80%
Chronic pyelonephritis	33%
Wilms tumor	50%
Adenocarcinoma of the kidney	38%
Reflux nephropathy	20%
Renal tuberculosis	4%
End-stage renal disease	80%–90%
caused by chronic glomerulonephritis	78%
caused by hypertensive nephrosclerosis	100%
caused by diabetic nephropathy	80%
