Hypertension secondary to endocrine disorders - what does this mean

Hypertension secondary to endocrine disorders occurs when the hormones released by the endocrine system are out of balance. this can cause the blood pressure to increase, leading to hypertension.

What happens during the disease - hypertension secondary to endocrine disorders

Hypertension secondary to endocrine disorders is caused by a disruption in the body's endocrine system, which can lead to an overproduction of hormones such as adrenaline or aldosterone. this can lead to an increase in blood pressure, as the hormones cause the body's arteries and veins to constrict, making it more difficult for the heart to pump blood. additionally, the overproduction of hormones can cause the body to retain more sodium and water, further increasing the pressure in the circulatory system.

Order an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test to assess adrenal gland function
Order genetic testing to rule out genetic causes of hypertension
