TY - JOUR AU - Aronow, Wilbert S. PY - 2017 TI - Drug-induced causes of secondary hypertension JF - Annals of Translational Medicine; Vol 5, No 17 (September 15, 2017): Annals of Translational Medicine Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - Resistant hypertension is a blood pressure that remains above the treatment goal despite use of optimal doses of three antihypertensive drugs of different classes including a diuretic (1). Patients with resistant hypertension should be screened for causes of secondary hypertension (2). Common causes of secondary hypertension include renal parenchymal disease (1), renovascular disease (3), dug-induced causes (4), pregnancy (5), primary aldosteronism (6), and obstructive sleep apnea (7). Uncommon causes of secondary hypertension include acromegaly, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, Cushing syndrome, apparent mineralocorticoid excess, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, carcinoid syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, coarctation of the aorta, and neurological causes (2). This article will discuss some of the drug-induced causes of secondary hypertension. UR - https://atm.amegroups.org/article/view/15358
