• secondary high blood pressure

  5% of people with hypertension have what is called secondary hypertension.

  This means that the hypertension in these individuals is secondary to (caused by) a specific disorder of a particular organ or blood vessel, such as the Renal (kidney) hypertension, Adrenal gland tumors, Coarctation of the aorta artery, or The metabolic syndrome and obesity.
