Title: Histopathological Investigation of the Effects of Hypertension on the Kidneys
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Bonnie Brenseke, School of Osteopathic Medicine

During anatomy dissection of an 84-year-old Caucasian male, a kidney sample was collected for microscopic examination of the effects of HTN on the kidney. Vascular changes identified in the kidney such as thickening of the renal arterioles and interstitial fibrosis were consistent with a diagnosis of hypertensive nephropathy.
