Abstract

Resistant and uncontrolled hypertension are common presentations to the nephrology clinic. Many of these patients benefit from evaluation for secondary hypertension in order to optimize antihypertensive therapy and reduce the risks of target organ damage from uncontrolled hypertension. The purpose of this review is to present several cases of difficult-to-control and/or secondary hypertension and to identify optimal approaches to evaluating and managing hypertension in these high-risk patients.
