A case of a 17 year-old male patient developing renin dependent hypertension 3 years after nephrectomy for multicystic dysplastic kidney is reported. The risks of arterial hypertension in adolescence and adulthood as well as malignancy strongly suggest, at least in our opinion, precocious prophylactic nephrectomy.
