Hypertension secondary to massive upper pole hydronephrosis

K Pranikoff, R Rabinowitz, D E Kamm

    The Journal of Urology
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hypertension due to hydronephrosis is rare, especially in duplex kidney systems. A partial nephrectomy successfully treated a patient with hyperreninemic hypertension caused by a dilated kidney segment.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Cardiovascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Hypertension secondary to hydronephrosis is an uncommon condition.
    • Duplex kidney systems present unique anatomical considerations.
    • Hyperreninemic hypertension requires specific diagnostic and treatment approaches.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with hypertension and a left-sided abdominal mass.
    • Imaging revealed a non-functioning, massively dilated upper pole of a duplex system.
    • The condition was identified as the cause of hyperreninemic hypertension.

    Findings:

    • The dilated upper pole of the duplex system was causing secondary hypertension.
    • Laboratory findings indicated hyperreninemia.
    • Surgical intervention was deemed necessary for treatment.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare cause of secondary hypertension.
    • Partial nephrectomy can be an effective treatment for such cases.
    • Understanding duplex system anomalies is crucial for diagnosing rare hypertensive conditions.
