    Stable plagues occur when fatty acids build up in artery walls, thickening them and restricting blood flow to the heart. Unstable plagues are more dangerous because they can rupture artery walls, leading to heart attacks, strokes, and death. Benign nephrosclerosis can have an acute phase caused by high blood pressure, resulting in collapsed glomeruli and intestinal fibrosis in areas with intact arterioles.

    1.

    Difference between Stable and Unstable Plagues:

    Stable Plagues occur due to thickening of wall of arteries because of build up of fatty acids.
    The fatty substances deposited in wall of arteries restrict the blood flow to heart known as clogged
    arteries.

    In Unstable plagues it causes rupturing of artery wall and lead to heart attack, stroke to death.

    Unstable plagues are more dangerous than stable plagues because of propensity and rupture.

    2. Can benign nephrosclerosis have acute phase:

    The benign nephrosclerosis can ne acute caused by non-malignant hypertension.

    In areas with preserved arteriolar myogenic responses there is ischemic glomerular tuft collapse and
    intestinal fibrosis.
