Hyperaldosteronism due to unsuspected adrenal carcinoma: discovery during investigation of hypertension in a young woman

The Journal of Urology

Abstract

During investigation for hypertension a 19-year-old black woman was found to have an unsuspected adrenal carcinoma. Hyperaldosteronism was established as the cause of the hypertension by observing suppressed plasma renin activity and nonsuppressible plasma aldosterone concentration. The causal relationship was confirmed by a cure of the hypertension and a return in the responsiveness of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis to normal after removal of the carcinoma. This report emphasizes the value of a comprehensive investigation of hypertension, especially in young patients.
