We report a case of a @entity916 secreting @entity5 , which is a very rare cause of secondary @entity101 . A 22-year-old @entity1 was hospitalised for exploration of @entity101 (160/110 mmHg) with severe hypokaliemia (2,7 mmol/l) and secondary @entity1368 . Physical examination was normal except the @entity101 . Bioassays show increased kaliuresis (66 mmol/24h), plasma @entity916 (89 pg/ml in clinostastism--108 pg/ml in orthostatism), pro- @entity916 (1207 pg/ml in clinostastism--1412 pg/ml in orthostatism) and @entity1369 (210 pg/ml in clinostastism--566 pg/ml in orthostatism). The rest of the endocrine tests were normal ( @entity701 and ACTH at 8:00 am, urinary free @entity701 , overnight 1 mg @entity619 suppression test). Doppler ultrasound method, performed by an experienced radiologist, did not show @entity2791 . Abdominal computerized tomography showed a nodular formation at the upper pole of the right kidney, isodense to renal medullary. The size @entity5 was 15 mm. The renal vein sampling shows high values of @entity916 on both sides whereas, for the pro- @entity916 , the values were higher on the @entity5 side. In spite of treatment with CEI (Converting Enzyme Inhibitors) and @entity460 antagonists, the blood pressure was not controlled. Hypokaliemia persisted (3 mmol/l) in spite of high daily @entity972 intake (64 mmol/l of @entity4337 ). After @entity5 resection, reninoma was diagnosed by the pathology examination and blood pressure, plasma rennin, plasma @entity1369 level returned to normal.
