Overview

Endocrine (adrenal) hypertension (primary aldosteronism, hypercortisolism and pheochromocytoma) had beenconsidered for a long time as a rare cause of arterial hypertension. However, recent studies have shown a frequentincidence of primary aldosteronism among hypertensive subjects and therefore it is nessessary to exclude primaryaldosteronism in all subjects with severe hypertension. On the contrary, pheochromocytoma and hypercortisolismmay be often overlooked in patients with incidentally found adrenal tumor and thus they can cause unexpected perandpostoperative complications.

Key words:
endocrine hypertension, primary aldosteronismus, pheochromocytoma, hypercortisolism.
