Abstract
Glomerulonephritis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) is one of the causes of renal parenchymal disease, which can lead to secondary hypertension (HTN). Clinical course of HTN in this case is usually mild, however, high blood pressure can become the only reason to refer to a primary care physician. We report a case of a 45-year old woman with renal parenchymal disease due to ANCA-glomerulonephritis and secondary HTN. HTN was the only clinical manifestation of the disease led to the hospital admission. With this clinical case we emphasize that primary care physicians should always attempt to identify secondary causes of HTN.
