Abstract

Though biochemical findings appear to be similar to high-renin essential hypertension, hyperreninemic hypertension consists of a few diseases resulting in secondary hypertension. In this case with hyperreninemic hypertension, despite normal renal arterial angiography, captopril renography and renal vein sampling were found positive. We also discussed the difficulties in evaluating these tests in differential diagnosis.
