SIERRA, Jeremías T. et al. Juxtaglomerular cell tumour as a curable cause of hypertension: case presentation. Nefrología (Madr.) [online]. 2015, vol.35, n.1, pp.110-114. ISSN 1989-2284. https://dx.doi.org/10.3265/Nefrologia.pre2014.Sep.12623.
Arterial hypertension is a highly prevalent disease and its secondary causes must always be kept in mind because the treatment and prognosis differ between these and essential hypertension. Here we present the first reported case in Argentina of a 21-year-old patient with arterial hypertension and hypokalaemia due to a renin-secreting juxtaglomerular cell tumour, which was diagnosed after seven years of development.
