Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pediatric Hypertension

Background:

  • Hyperaldosteronism is a significant cause of secondary hypertension.
  • Page kidney, characterized by renal artery stenosis due to external compression, can lead to renin-mediated hypertension.

Observation:

  • An adolescent male presented with severe hypertension and hypokalemia.
  • Diagnostic work-up identified hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism.

Findings:

  • Further investigation revealed Page kidney, resulting from a renal hematoma secondary to trauma.
  • This constellation of findings points to a specific etiology of secondary hypertension in a young patient.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering Page kidney in the differential diagnosis of secondary hypertension, particularly in younger individuals with a history of trauma.
