ABSTRACT
Clinical syndrome of refractory secondary hypertension, renal artery stenosis and secondary erythrocytosis could occur in the same patient. We report a rare case of refractory secondary hypertension, renal artery stenosis and primary erythrocytosis as an expression of polycythaemia rubra vera (PV) and suggest that erythrocytosis in a hypertensive renovascular occlusive disease may be primary due to underlying PV. This clinical syndrome should be excluded in such patients with refractory hypertension.
