Why the study?
Renin-secreting juxtaglomerular cell tumours can present with severe hypertensive crises that are challenging to diagnose and treat effectively.
Case Report (n=1)
A case of renin-secreting juxtaglomerular cell tumour which presented with a severe hypertensive crisis and did not respond to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors but was promptly controlled by intravenous labetalol is reported. The diagnostic difficulties which can be encountered in such cases and the usefulness of the different diagnostic tests, including renal vein renin measurement, are discussed.
