Secondary hypertension is rare to occur, but should become suspicion in young age. Secondary hypertension must be appropriately diagnosed and treated. Renal artery stenosis is one of many causes of secondary hypertension. The aim of this case report is to describe diagnosis, pathophysiology and management of secondary hypertension due to renal artery stenosis in young patient. A 17 year old man with symptom of shortness of breath was diagnosed with hypertension stage 3 on his medical examination at Pasar Rebo Hospital, Jakarta. Abdominal CT scan examination revealed bilateral renal artery stenosis. Percutaneous transluminal angiography (PTA) of left renal artery was performed at National Cardiovascular Centre Harapan Kita.

Ophthalmic Manifestations

Alport syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disease affecting type four collagen production, causing renal, auditory, and ophthalmic manifestations. This case report is about a 32-year-old male who was a known case of renal insufficiency and secondary hypertension and was referred to the ophthalmology department due to blurred vision. Based on the patient‘s history and ophthalmological findings, AS was diagnosed. Ophthalmic examination showed anterior lenticonus associated with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and impaired renal function. This clinical case report sheds light on the role of ophthalmology in diagnosing AS.
