• Abstract:

  Chronic Nephropathy (CN) is

  defined as a progressive and irreversible

  loss of kidney function, and is relevant in the

  scenario of diseases associated with systemic

  arterial hypertension, either as a consequence

  or causal factor. It is a pathology of silent

  evolution, and therefore most patients are

  asymptomatic, making diagnosis difficult and

  postponing treatment. Due to the high rates

  of diagnosis and an increased prevalence in

  young adults, the report of this case is justified.

  This is a 35-year-old white male patient who had

  sudden uneasiness, dyspnea, and lower limb

  edema. An ultrasound revealed bilateral chronic

  parenchymal nephropathy; echocardiogram

  revealed moderate left ventricular concentric

  hypertrophy; 24h proteinuria of 1676.4 mg/ml.
