Abstract :
[en] The kidney is both a key regulator of arterial pressure and a target organ of hypertension in the elderly. The aging kidney presents several anatomical and functional changes. Main anatomical changes are weight loss (250 g in the adult and 180g in the elderly) and cortical and glomerular atrophy. As a consequence, the glomerular filtration, (600 ml/min in the adult an 300 ml/min in the elderly) and the creatinine clearence usualy fall down in these patients. In considering pharmacological treatment, one needs to remember these important features. This chapter summarizes the different and most frequent causes of renal hypertension in the elderly and disscuss the main therapeutic implications.
