  • Title: Reversible hypertension due to carcinoma of the ureter.
    Author: Bruckstein AH, Ward JN, Wright M, Cortell S.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1979 Feb; 66(2):358-60. PubMed ID: 425976.
    Abstract:
    A patient who presented with hypertension of recent onset was found to have unilateral hydronephrosis. Increased activity of the renin-angiotensin system was documented with renal-vein-renin concentrations. The hydronephrosis was due to a primary transitional cell carcinoma of the ureter. Following nephroureterectomy, blood pressure returned to normal and has remained so for two years.
