Abstract

A 39 year-old young woman was referred to the cardiology department because of 'dizziness for 1 week'. She had a history of hypertension for 3 years, which was treated with irbesartan, but had poor blood pressure control for 1 week. The laboratory examination revealed an elevated renin level of 1000 uIU/ml. An enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen demonstrated a soft-tissue mass in the upper pole of the left kidney. The patient was admitted for further evaluation. Admission labs were notable for a serum potassium of 2.93 mmol/L.
