ABSTRACT

La hipertensión arterial secundaria supone solo un 5-10% de los casos de hipertensión arterial, de ahí la importancia de su sospecha clínica para el diagnóstico. Una de las causas más frecuentes de hipertensión secundaria es la hipertensión renovascular, que se produce por hipoperfusión renal y activación del sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterona. Además de que la hipertensión arterial supone uno de los factores de riesgo cardiovasculares más prevalente en la población, su mal control puede producir alteraciones neurológicas agudas como el síndrome de leucoencefalopatía posterior reversible (PRES), en el que es característico la aparición de alteraciones visuales. A continuación, exponemos el caso de un paciente trasplantado renal con hipertensión arterial con empeoramiento secundario a estenosis de la arteria renal y desarrollo de PRES. (AU)

In addition to arterial hypertension being one of the most prevalent cardiovascular risk factors in the population, its poor control can cause acute neurological disorders such as Posterior Reversible Leukoencephalopathy syndrome (PRES), being characteristic the appearance of visuals alterations. Next, we present the case of a kidney transplant patient with well-controlled arterial hypertension with worsening secondary to renal artery stenosis and development of PRES. (AU)
