I'm going to try it, at least.

1) thyrotoxicosis

2) drugs (nsaids, epo, oral contraceptives, etc)

3) pheocromocytoma

4) conn's Sx

5) Cushing Sx

6) hyperparathyroidism

7) aortic coarctation

8) renal parenchymal disorders

9) alcohol

10) renovascular hypertension

11) obstructive sleep apnea

12) hypothyroidism (diastolic HTN)

13) acromegaly

but honestly I only was able to remember 9, I looked for the remainder.

Good chemamr!-And someone giving me a web site for causes of secondary HTN is a little humorous.. secondary HTN is only 10% of HTN.
I dont mind sharing even with the web spiders {those who look but dont contribute}

Here is how I did it. Its as easy as a"CHEAP CHANN PCR"

calcium increase
Hyperthroid
Etoh
adrenogenital C17,C11
psuedotumor cerebri


cyclosporin, hypothyrodism. acromegaly, neuro ds associated with I.C.P., NSAIDs



PCR////(4,3,3,) Pills (OCP), PCKD, Pregnancy (HTN), Pheo///
///////////////////Conns, Coartation, Cushing syndrome
///////////////////Renal ds(intrinsic), renal artery stenosis due to arteriosclerosis
///////////////////renal artery stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia.
