Differentiating Hypertensive Nephropathy from other Diseases
- Systemic hypertension
- Intracranial lesions
- Patients with intracranial masses, metastatic lesions and raised intracranial tension also present with raised blood pressure.
- Intracranial lesions can cause seizures, paralysis or weakness of limbs.
- Secondary hypertension
- High aldosterone, T3, T4 and corticosteroids may cause increase in blood pressure.
- Clinical manifestations, serum hormone levels, supression tests and history of endocrine disorder can help arrive at a diagnosis.
