Secondary hypertension of endocrine origin

Secondary hypertension has a low prevalence of 10%, however it is important to look for it given its potentially reversible nature after treatment of the cause, particularly for endocrine arterial hypertension. Indeed, it can be treated or at least improved following the identification and management of the causative factor. The aim of the work was to study the etiological profile of endocrine arterial hypertension and to determine its clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary characteristics.
