“Dr. Johns sent me for a consultation. My blood pressure is too high.”
• 68 year-old female with HTN for 20 years • Past 6 months: more difficult to control with
readings in the 150/100 range • She has taken hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg daily and
amlodipine 5 mg daily for years with good control• Overall has felt fine but some morning headaches. • Watches her salt carefully and tries to walk for
exercise three times a week.• Her physician placed her on enalapril 10 mg per
day 2 weeks ago when he noted a blood pressure of 170/110.
• Lab obtained that day included a normal urinalysis, normal potassium and creatinine of 1.5.
• Operations:– Cholecystectomy – 1998– Appendectomy – 1980
• Hospitalization for unstable angina one year ago. Had angioplasty and stent of LAD
• Adult Illnesses:– HTN as mentioned above– Hyperlipidemia for 10 years– Osteoarthritis of left knee for 2 years, treated
with ibuprofen and occasional cortisone injections.
Enalapril 10 mg per dayMechanism: ACE inhibitor Uses: HTN, CHF, LVD SE: decrease BP with initial dose (especially
with concomitant diuretics), increase K+, nonproductive cough, angioedema
Doses: 2.5–40 mg/d PO Notes: Monitor Cr
Hydrochlorothiazide (50 mg daily)Mechanism: decrease distal tubule Na
reabsorption Uses: HTN and edemaSE: decrease K+, hyperglycemia,
hyperuricemia, decrease Na+
Notes: May cause sun sensitivity Dosing: 25–100 mg/d
Amlodipine (5 mg daily) Mechanism: Calcium Channel BlockerUses: HTN and Unstable AnginaSE: Peripheral edema, HA, palpitations,
flushing Dosing :2.5-10 mg/day
Atorvastatin (Lipitor) (40 mg each evening)Mechanism: HMG-CoA reductase InhibitorUses: hyper - cholesterol & triglycerides SE: Myopathy, HA, arthralgia, myalgia, GI
upset Dosing: Initial 10 mg/d, may increase to 80
mg/d Notes: Monitor LFTs
Ibuprofen (400 mg three times daily)Aspirin (325 mg daily) – seems high
Allergies: None
Smoking:1 ppd for 30 years, quit one year ago
Alcohol: OccasionalFamily History: Brother has mild
hypertension.Social History: Married, lives in rural St.
Louis County, own well and septic. Likes to garden.
Occupational History: Retired high school math teacher
Overall feels well.No chest discomforts with exertionNo cough or shortness of breathHas noted some muscle cramping in legs
for past couple months after 3 blocks of walking, slows her some.
No dysuria

Nephritic SyndromeHematuriaMild to moderate proteinuriaHypertensionClassic: Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis
Nephrotic Syndrome>3.5gm/day proteinuriaHypoalbuminemiaHyperlipidemiaEdemaLipiduria
Certain strains of Group A beta hemolytic streptococci are nephritogenic
Occurs 1 – 4 weeks post a pharyngeal or skin infectionAffects all ages but more common in childrenClinical presentation: Nephritic
Malaise, fever, oliguria, hematuria (“smoky urine”)Red cell casts, mild proteinuria, periorbital edema, mild
hypertensionAdults may have an atypical presentation
Clinical course:>95% of children recover~60% of adults recover
Other infectious agents can cause same disease
Urine analysis was negative for hematuria and proteinuria
No reported recent history of respiratory or skin infection (no rash noted)
???
Symptoms:• Memory loss •Speech difficulties •Hypertension •Fatigue •Aggression •Irritability •Depression •Chronic fatigue
Potential exposure from well or water contamination from old lead pipes as well as diet and general environment
Nephrotoxic causing Tubulointerstitial Nephritis can be acute or chronic
Tubulointerstitial nephritis: acute or chronic injury
- Lead Blood level of 100-120 ug/dL (observed effect as low as 40 ug/dL) can lead to chronic nephropathy in adults.
- Hypertension at Lead Blood levels of 30 ug/dL (observed as low as 10 ug/dL)
- Chronic Hg exposure can be caused by chronic diuretic use and lead to renal failure
Lead: 18.9g/dl- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that BLLs among adults be reduced to under 25ug/dL
Mercury (Hg) - serum: 0 ng/ml - Acceptable levels <10 mcg/L
Conclusion: lead may be contributing to her chronic hypertension, but she is not currently exceeding recommended blood levels
Pheochromocytoma Primary Aldosteronism Cushing Syndrome Renal Artery Stenosis
AtheroscleroticFirbromusculardyplasia of renal artery
PheochromocytomaWhat is it?
Adrenal Medullary tumor Causes increased Epinephrine secretion Increased Adrenaline -> Secondary Hypertension
What fits: Hypertension (today: 170/100) Headaches
What does not No masses observed on Ultrasound Usually, order biochem test; then CT
Pheochromocytoma (not our pt!)
Primary HyperaldosteronismWhat is it?
A.K.A. : Conn’s Syndrome Adrenal Adenoma Tumor Produces Excess Aldosterone Aldo -> increases Na+ reabsorption -> increased BP
-> increases K+ excretion -> Hypokalemia
What fits Muscle complications Hypertension
What does not fit Ultrasound negative Usually, biochem test; then CT scan
‘Conn’ Tumor (not our pt!)
Cushing SyndromeWhat is it?
Excessive exposure to Glucocorticoids (Aldosterone) Buffalo Hump, Truncal obesity Two main causes:
adrenal adenoma Anterior Pituitary adenoma (“ Cushing disease”)(ACTH -> Glucocorticoids)
5:1 female
What fits Hypertension Muscle complications Gender
What does not fit Lack of physical change Negative Ultrasound Usually, biochemical abnormality; then CT (head or abdomen)
Cushing Syndrome (not our pt!)
Narrowing of the renal artery leads to• restriction of blood flow• reduced kidney function• hypertension
Causes• Atherosclerosis (most common)• Fibromuscular dysplasia
Risk Factors:High cholesterol*High blood pressure*Age*Smoker*DiabetesPeripheral vascular disease*
SxHigh blood pressure (reno-vascular
hypertension)-More than 3 needed to control
-UncontrollableBruitsSudden worsening of hypertension
Physical findings:BP 170/100A-V nicking/arteriolar narrowing
Physical findings:BP 170/100A-V nicking/arteriolar narrowingRight carotid bruitBilateral femoral artery bruits
Lab/Tests:Renal Ultrasound ($370)
-slightly decreased renal size bilaterally, no cysts or masses
Renal MRI ($0)-non-invasive
Lab/Tests:Renal Ultrasound ($370)
-slightly decreased renal size bilaterally, no cysts or
masses
Renal MRI ($0)
Renal Angiography ($0)-gives us best picture
-option for angioplasty
Big PictureBilateral renal artery stenosis caused a decrease
in renal blood flowKidney sensed a decrease in perfusionActivation of the renin-angiotensin-system and
aldosteroneIncreased blood pressure
Treatment:If asymptomatic no treatment necessaryBlood pressure medication
ACE InhibitorsARBDiuretics
Treatment:If asymptomatic no treatment necessaryBlood pressure medicationSurgery (75% occlusion)
Angioplasty with stentBypass
PrognosisPatients with fibromuscular dysplasia
often have good long term results with angioplasty
Those with atherosclerotic RAS frequently experience a reoccurrence and are often not completely resolved of their hypertension
Angiotensin II vasoconstricts
Prostaglandins vasodilate
•Block COX-1 and COX-2
•Inhibit synthesis of prostaglandins–Prostaglandins responsible for dilation of the afferent arteriole
•Decreased number of vasodilatory prostaglandins leading to constriction of the afferent arteriole
•Decrease in intraglomerular pressure
•Avoid NSAID use in bilateral renal artery stenosis
Competitive inhibitor of ACE
Prevents conversion of Ang I → Ang II
Decreased levels of Ang II Ang II maintains constriction of efferent arteriole
Results in dilation of the efferent arteriole
Decreases GFR
ACEI/ARBs should be avoided in bilateral renal artery stenosis
Discontinue Ibuprofen 400 mg po TID for OA
Discontinue Enalapril 10 mg po QDay SCr increased by more than 30% within two weeks (1.5
mg/dL to 3.7 mg/dL)
Discontinue Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg po QDay due to GFR < 30 ml/min Use MDRD equation to determine GFR GFR = 186 x (3.7 mg/dL^-1.154) x (66^-0.203) x 0.742
(female) GFR = 13 ml/min Reevaluate need for medication once treatment of renal
artery stenosis has occurred
Reduce dose of Aspirin to 81 mg QDay Provide anti-platelet effect without producing anti-
inflammatory effect
Increase dose of Atorvastatin to 80 mg po every evening LDL goal of <100 mg/dL (patients current LDL is 111
mg/dL) Monitor for joint aches and pain
Initiate Tylenol 1 gm TID – QID for OA Do not exceed 4000 mg/day
Continue Amlodipine 5 mg QDay Monitor BP after medical intervention to assess need
Initiate Atenolol 50 mg po QDay AHA recommends use of beta-blocker for treatment of
HTN in patients with angina
Initiate Nitroglycerin 0.4 mg sublingual every 5 minutes for anginal pain. Max of 3 doses in 15 minutes.
