title: [Use of computerized tomography in the study of the etiology of various forms of symptomatic arterial hypertension].
abstract: In 181 patients with arterial hypertension of various genesis clinical-laboratory data were compared with those obtained by computed tomography of kidneys and adrenal glands for etiology verification. Computer tomography is proved to be a valuable noninvasive method for elucidation of retroperitoneal space organs pathology which can cause arterial hypertension. Hormonal-active tumors are better identified when patients are purposely selected according to the catecholamine and VMA levels as well as the state of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Computer tomography allowed determination of alterations in kidneys including those not identifiable by other methods (small cysts in kidneys, tumors, concrements).
