Nephron-sparing surgery is an effective treatment for renin-induced hypertension caused by reninoma.
May support nephron-sparing surgery in reninoma; hypothesis-generating and requires larger series before practice change.
Reninoma is a rare cause of renin-induced hypertension commonly seen in young adults and adolescents. Here, we describe a case of reninoma presenting with hypertension in the young. Further investigation revealed elevated renin and aldosterone levels. Computed tomography of the kidneys showed a right-sided renal mass. A diagnosis of reninoma was made, and the patient underwent nephron-sparing surgery, which rendered her normotensive post-operatively.

Krishnan et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Reninoma with hypertension (n=1). Nephron-sparing surgery (partial nephrectomy) was evaluated on Blood pressure and symptom resolution. Nephron-sparing surgery successfully cured hypertension and palpitations in a 23-year-old female with a reninoma.
