Significance of modern diagnostic methods in the early diagnosis of hypertensive nephropathy

Abstract

The review analyzes modern criteria for early diagnosis of renal damage in hypertensive patients. Based on numerous studies, the role of impaired renal function markers and renal artery Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of hypertensive nephropathy is indicated. A search was made for the relationship between laboratory criteria for kidney damage and renal Doppler ultrasound characteristics in hypertensive patients. In addition, the importance of revealing intrarenal hemodynamic disorders in the early diagnosis of hypertensive nephropathy was established.
