چکیده
A case of primary aldosteronism associated with renovascular hypertension is reported. The patient, a 46-year-old woman, developed hypertension to the level of 210/110 mmHg. Laboratory data included serum potassium 3.4mEq/l, plasma renin activity 25ng/ml/h and plasma concentration of aldosterone 330 pg/ml. Occlusion of the left renal artery and left adrenal aldosteronoma was diagnosed by radiographic and hormone analysis findings. Left adrenalectomy and nephrectomy corrected the hypertension. The possibility of tertiary aldosteronism is discussed.

Muscle sympathetic nerve activity in renovascular hypertension and primary aldosteronism.
Previous studies, including our own, have demonstrated that muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) is increased in patients with essential hypertension compared with normotensive subjects. However, the features of sympathetic nerve activity are still unknown in secondary hypertension. We examined MSNA in eight patients with renovascular hypertension and in 11 patients with primary aldosteroni...
متن کاملIntracardiac Thrombus in Renovascular Hypertension: A Case Report
Thromboembolism is a rare complication of primary nephortic syndrome. Both venous and arterial thrombosis might occur in steroid responsive and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. This is the report of an infant with nephrotic syndrome and renovascular hypertension, complicated with asymptomatic intracardiac thrombus and managed appropriately with medical treatment.
متن کاملRenal function curve in patients with secondary forms of hypertension.
The causative mechanisms of hypertension were investigated by studying the renal function (pressure-natriuresis) curve in patients with primary aldosteronism (n = 6) and renovascular hypertension (n = 6). Before and after radical operation (removal of adenoma in primary aldosteronism and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in renovascular hypertension), dietary NaCl intake was altered from 10...
متن کاملRole of aldosterone in left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension.
BACKGROUND Aldosterone induces cardiac fibrosis in experimental animal models, but only limited information is available on the association between aldosterone and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in human beings. The aim of the present study was to determine the role of aldosterone in LV geometry and to investigate other types of target organ damage in hypertensive patients. METHODS A total...
متن کاملVesicoureteral Reflux, a Scarred kidney, and Minimal Proteinuria: An Unusual Cause of Adult Secondary Hypertension
Hypertension affects about 65 million individuals in the United States. In adult patients, primary aldosteronism and renovascular causes are described as most prevalent. Vesicoureteral reflux as a cause of hypertension, while commonly described in pediatric populations, is less prevalent in the adult population especially in the absence of proteinuria. We present the case of a 31-year-old femal...
