The evaluation and treatment of endocrine forms of hypertension.
[cushing syndrome]
Endocrine
hypertension
is
an
important
secondary
form
of
hypertension
,
identified
in
between
5
%
and
10
%
of
general
hypertensive
population
.
Primary
aldosteronism
is
the
most
common
cause
of
endocrine
hypertension
,
accounting
for
1
%
-
10
%
in
uncomplicated
hypertension
and
7
%
-
20
%
in
resistant
hypertension
.
Other
less
common
causes
of
endocrine
hypertension
include
Cushing
syndrome
,
pheochromocytoma
,
thyroid
disorders
,
and
hyperparathyroidism
.
Diagnosis
requires
a
high
index
of
suspicion
and
the
use
of
appropriate
screening
tests
based
on
clinical
presentation
.
Failure
to
make
proper
diagnosis
may
lead
to
catastrophic
complications
or
irreversible
hypertensive
target
organ
damage
.
Accordingly
,
patients
who
are
suspected
to
have
endocrine
hypertension
should
be
referred
to
endocrinologists
or
hypertension
specialists
who
are
familiar
with
management
of
the
specific
endocrine
disorders
.
