The aetiology of hypertension in type 1 diabetes is commonly due to the presence of diabetic nephrology. A rare case of hypertension in a patient with type 1 diabetes and no proteinuria is reported, where the investigation of borderline hypokalaemia allowed us to make a diagnosis of hyperaldosteronism due to bilateral adrenocortical hyperplasia. Secondary causes of hypertension should always be considered in all diabetic patients, particularly in the absence of clinical proteinuria.
1型糖尿病患者高血压的病因通常是糖尿病肾病。本文报告了1例1型糖尿病且无蛋白尿患者出现高血压的罕见病例,对临界性低钾血症的检查使我们诊断其为双侧肾上腺皮质增生所致的醛固酮增多症。所有糖尿病患者都应始终考虑高血压的继发性病因,尤其是在无临床蛋白尿的情况下。
