Abstract

This article has discussed the classic hormonal causes of hypertension. Pheochromocytoma and hyperaldosteronism have been discussed, and a clinical approach to evaluation of patients for these problems has been presented. Other humeral factors that influence volume pressure homeostasis have been discussed. It is likely that pharmacologic agents affecting these other factors will become available to patients with hypertension in the future.
