ABSTRACT
Secondary hypertension, which refers to arterial hypertension caused by an identifiable medical condition, accounts for 5-10% of all hypertensive diagnoses; however, this is thought to be an underestimate. If diagnosed promptly, secondary hypertension can be treated, and proper blood pressure restored. This review focuses on the screening, diagnosis, and management of the most common forms of secondary hypertension, including primary aldosteronism, renovascular hypertension, pheochromocytoma, Cushing’s syndrome, and renal parenchymal disease.
