Essential hypertension, which accounts for 90%-95% of all cases of hypertension seen in the clinic, is also referred to as idiopathic hypertension, because we simply don't understand the cause(s). Although many theories have been advanced, in the current issue of the JCI, Gonzalez-Villalobos et al. present further evidence implicating the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system and take us one step further by proposing a mechanism underlying this pathology.
原发性高血压占临床所见高血压病例的 90%-95%,也称为特发性高血压,因为我们根本不清楚其病因。虽然已经提出了许多理论,但在本期 JCI 中,Gonzalez-Villalobos 等人提出了进一步的证据,表明肾内肾素-血管紧张素系统与此相关,并通过提出该病理的一种机制,让我们更进一步。
