    A. Your kidneys have the smallest capillaries and take the biggest hit when your HTN is uncontrolled for a long time. And the rest is true also.

    Hypertensive encephalopathy (brain dysfunction) and retinopathy (retinal damage) are well known entities. Kidneys are important target organs for hypertensive damage.
