Hipertensión e insuficiencia renal ligadas al complejo de esclerosis tuberosa

Hypertension and renal failure are very closely related to vascular risk. We present the case of a hypertensive, 53-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed with nephritic spasm one month before being referred to our hospital for study of her ill-controlled hypertension and renal failure. After a physical examination and complementary tests, she was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex,an uncommon genetic disease that is clinically very variable and that can be the cause of hypertension and renal failure.
