ABSTRACT
Secondary arterial hypertension (HTN) can be caused by primary hyperaldosteronism, renovascular disease, sleep apnea syndrome, chronic kidney disease, drug use, etc. In addition, some urological disorders such as hydronephrosis can cause hypertension due to an increase in intraglomerular pressure that activates the renin angiotensin system.(AU)
La hipertensión arterial (HTA) secundaria engloba un amplio diagnóstico diferencial que incluye causas tan distintas como el hiperaldosteronismo primario, la enfermedad renovascular, el síndrome de apnea del sueño, la enfermedad renal crónica, el consumo de fármacos, etc. Existen, además, ciertos trastornos urológicos como la hidronefrosis que pueden producir HTA debido a un aumento de presión intraglomerular que active el sistema renina-angiotensina.(AU)
