Malignant hypertension induces thrombotic microangiopathy and renal failure: A case report
TMA caused by malignant hypertension is rare and similar to the clinical manifestations of TMA caused by Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, but it is often sudden and critical. Early identification and diagnosis and aggressive antihypertensive therapy, must be given to avoid end-stage renal disease, long-term maintenance of dialysis, and the financial burden of unnecessary plasmapheresis and potential side effects of glucocorticoids.
