1. arteriosclerosis

2. it refers to several diseases in which the arterial wall thickens and loses its elasticity It is the thickening and stiffening of the artery walls from too much pressure

The kidneys need enough blood flow to help filter waste products and remove excess fluids.

8. Types Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis  or medial calcific sclerosis is seen mostly in the elderly, commonly in arteries of the extremities. Hyperplastic: Hyperplastic arteriosclerosis refers to the type of arteriosclerosis that affects large and medium-sized arteries. Hyaline type : Hyaline arteriosclerosis, also referred to as arterial hyalinosis and arteriolar hyalinosis, refers to lesions that are caused by the deposition of homogenous  hyaline  in the small arteries and arterioles.
