====Arteriolar hyalinosis====
Microscopic:

*Aging.
*[[Diabetes mellitus]].
*[[Hypertension]].
*Drugs - [[calcineurin inhibitor toxicity|calcineurin inhibitors]] (tacrolimus, cyclosporine).
 
Note:
*Arteriolar hyalinosis - involves ''afferent'' and ''efferent'' arterioles in diabetes, in others it is only the afferent.

Microscopic:
*Intimal thickening of medium-sized vessels.
**Where is the intima/media interface?

Grading - based on the thickness of the media and intima:
*Mild: (tunica) media > (tunica) intima.
*Moderate: media = intima.
*Severe: media < intima.
