Taner Basturk, Özg&uum

Abstract

We represented a case of malignant hypertension with thrombotic microangiopathy. There was found no finding revealing renovascular hypertension inspite of high renin and aldosterone levels. The patient responded to aldactone that was administered because of the likelihood of primary aldosteronism regarding the causes of secondary hypertension. We aimed to point out that the laboratory tests may reflect the outcomes of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia; therefore in such circumstances it may be impossible to find out the main reason of hypertension
