Abstract

About 10-15% of hypertension is secondary to renal disease. Cause of renal hypertension is renal parenchymal disease or renovascular problem. Hypertension in children which estimate at 1-2 % of all hypertension is very rare. We experienced a ease of renal parenchymal hypertension due to unilateral chronic reflux pyelonephritis in 10 year old boy, treated by nephrectomy.
