摘要

We report a 20-year-old female with severe hypertension, hypokalemia, hyperaldosteronism and elevated level of plasma renin activity (PRA). The clinical diagnosis of renin secreting tumor of left kidney was made before surgery by the lateralization of plasma renin activity via selective renal venous blood sampling and CT scan of kidney. Prompt normalization of blood pressure and decrease of PRA and aldosterone levels were found after surgical removal of the tumor. The pathological findings showed a juxtaglomerular cell tumor.
