dc.description.abstractLately, a series of hypertensive syndromes of unknown etiology that respond to new forms of therapy, have been described One of these is glucocorticoid remediable hypertension, that evolves with suppressed plasma renin activity and normal or high serum aldosterone levels, that lead to an aldosterone/plasma renin activity ratio over 30. We report a 45 years old woman with a severe hypertension despite the use of antihypertensive medications. She had a plasma renin activity of less than 0.3 ng/ml/h, normal serum aldosterone levels (10 ng/ml) and thus a high aldosterone/plasma renin activity ratio. She had normal serum potassium and sodium levels. Due to the bad results of conventional antihypertensive medications, a treatment with dexamethasone was started that normalized blood pressure and allowed to discontinue other antihypertensive medications. This type of hypertensive must besought since non conventional treatments could be used for refractory hypertensive syndromes.
