Tutorial
Maria Rossi is a 21-year-old woman who comes to the emergency department for treatment of a headache. She has been having worsening headaches for several weeks and today the pain is severe and has not responded to Tylenol. The triage nurse measures her blood pressure and finds it to be 220/110. Maria is put on a monitor and full examination by the emergency room physician reveals retinal exudates and an abdominal bruit. Blood work is sent to the lab.

Objectives
General Objectives
- Explain the possible underlying mechanisms of edema, hypertension, oliguria and renal insufficiency and apply them to clinical presentations.
- Choose and then analyze laboratory tests which would permit you to investigate systematically each of your hypotheses.
- Explain the mechanisms of action of diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blocking (ARB) agents and apply them to appropriate clinical scenarios.
- Explain the mechanisms responsible for essential and secondary hypertension.
- Explain the mechanisms responsible for elevation of blood pressure in the setting of renal artery stenosis.
