  • Title: Secondary hypertension: workup and correction.
    Author: Ram CV.
    Journal: Hosp Pract (Off Ed); 1994 Apr 15; 29(4):137-40, 143-6, 149-50. PubMed ID: 8144718.
    Abstract:
    The three most common causes--renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma, and primary aldosteronism--are reviewed, including uncomplicated screening procedures to select candidates for a more intensive workup. The first two conditions are usually corrected by angioplasty or surgery, whereas aldosteronism may require both surgical and medical therapy or medication alone.
