Question

malignant hypertension causes which change in the glomeruli of the kidney?
thickening of the basement membrane
hyaline arteriolosclerosis
nodular glomerulosclerosis
mesangial proliferation
hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis

Explanation:

Malignant hypertension is associated with hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis, which involves the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and the deposition of collagen in the arteriolar walls, affecting the glomeruli. Thickening of the basement membrane is seen in some glomerulonephritides. Hyaline arteriolosclerosis is typical of benign hypertension. Nodular glomerulosclerosis is related to diabetes. Mesangial proliferation is seen in various glomerular diseases but not specific to malignant hypertension.

Answer:

E. Hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis
