Summary

A rare pediatric case of hyponatremic-hypertensive syndrome (HHS) in a 4-year-old girl presented with severe dehydration and seizures. The condition was linked to high-pressure-forced diuresis from malignant renoparenchymal hypertension.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Hypertension Research
  • Rare Childhood Diseases

Background:

  • Hyponatremic-hypertensive syndrome (HHS) is exceptionally rare in pediatric populations.
  • This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and clinical manifestations of HHS in a young child.

Observation:

  • A 4-year-old girl presented with recurrent fever, vomiting, seizures, severe hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and marked hypertension (210/160 mmHg).
  • Despite dehydration, she exhibited high urine output and urinary sodium, along with massive transient proteinuria.
  • Further investigations revealed right kidney scarring, bladder dysfunction, brain infarcts, and left ventricular hypertrophy.

Findings:

  • Malignant renoparenchymal hypertension was identified as the likely cause of high-pressure-forced diuresis, leading to hyponatremia and proteinuria.

  • Blood pressure control successfully normalized serum/urinary electrolytes and reduced proteinuria, underscoring the hypertension's central role.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of HHS pathophysiology in children.
    • Effective blood pressure management is crucial for resolving electrolyte imbalances and proteinuria in pediatric HHS.
    • Highlights the importance of considering severe hypertension in pediatric cases with unexplained hyponatremia and proteinuria.
