Relation to Hypertension and ArteriolosclerosisA close relation between intercapillary glomerulosclerosis and arteriolosclerosis of the kidney has been obvious to all observers.4,6,7,8 The two lesions roughly parallel each other, but a sufficient number of exceptions exist to justify the statement that the relation is likely to be coincidental. Although arteriolosclerosis cannot be excluded as a contributing factor in bringing about intercapillary glomerulosclerosis, it cannot be regarded as the sole cause. In the age group in which most cases of intercapillary glomerulosclerosis occur, a large percentage of patients reveal marked arteriolosclerosis of kidneys with or without the glomerular lesions. Intercapillary glomerulosclerosis . . .
