Endocrine Hypertension – a Multifaceted Disease

Abstract

Abstract Secondary hypertension with an endocrine-associated condition—pheochromocytoma, primary aldosteronism (PA), Cushing's syndrome, acromegaly, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, hypo- and hyperthyroidism, renin-secreting tumors, and hyperparathyroidism— represents a small but heterogeneous group of potentially reversible forms of hypertension. High clinical suspicion is the cornerstone of diagnosing these different patterns of often severe and refractory hypertension. We report a series of 3 cases of endocrine secondary hypertension with particular clinical presentations and paraclinical findings in which the accurate diagnosis led to successful treatment of high blood pressure.
