Hyponatremic Hypokalemic Natriuresis in a Child with Malignant Hypertension and Abdominal Tuberculosis

Abstract

Pediatric hypertension is not uncommon inchildren; yet, it is very commonly missed by primary physicians and end organ damage has already started by the time it is diagnosed. Hypertension is sometimes considered a consequence of an illness when it actually is the etiology of that illness, for example, intracerebral hemorrhage with raised intracranial pressure.
