“…Other more detailed tests (eg, urine phase contrast, serum protein electrophoresis, etc) may be appropriate, depending on individual cases or the clinical scenario. Although abnormalities may be the result of the hypertension itself, evaluation of acute renal processes such as glomerulonephritis, renal artery embolism, worsening of ischaemic nephropathy, and obstructive uropathy should be considered 11. Prompt evaluation of renal function and the degree of proteinuria is mandatory in all patients with difficult to control or worsening blood pressure.…”

Hypertension is a chronic disorder which often entails debilitating cardiovascular and renal complications. Hypertension mostly arises as a complex quantitative trait that is affected by varying combinations of genetic and environmental factors. Secondary hypertension has been encountered with increasing frequency. The common causes of secondary hypertension include renal parenchymal disease, renal artery stenosis, primary aldosteronism, phaeochromocytoma, and Cushing's syndrome. The detection of a secondary cause is of the utmost importance because it provides an opportunity to convert an incurable disease into a potentially curable one. Early identification and treatment will provide a better opportunity for cure, prevent target organ damage, reduce socioeconomic burden and health expenditure associated with drug costs, and improve patients' quality of life. Hence, it is a condition not to be missed.
