Abstract

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.
