Abstract :
Hypertension and hyponatremia together, is an
uncommon entity in children. We here described
a 10-year-old boy presented with hypertensive
emergency and altered sensorium with
hyponatremia. After initial stabilization USG
(ultrasonography) Doppler showed shrunken
right kidney with absence of flow in the right
renal artery. Right Renal Resistive Index was 0.9.
Therefore, patient underwent right total
nephrectomy and blood pressure ultimately came
under control.
