Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is one of the most common causes secondary hypertension. PA may be associated with a decline in renal function. About 20% cases resistant HTN eventually cause PA, so all these patients should evaluated for PA. Herein, we present case drug-resistant hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD), which was Despite his low-salt diet modifications treatment several classes antihypertensive medication, he had poorly controlled blood pressure (BP). Measurements...
