“…39,40 Four published cases were reported as APAC without hypertension. [41][42][43][44][45] These cases all presented with either hypokalemia or an abdominal mass, associated with a systolic blood pressure of 120 to 130 mm Hg. However, the mechanisms underlying the lack of hypertension in these rare cases have not been elucidated.…”

Plusieurs hypothèses ont été avancées pour expliquer l'absence d'hypertension artérielle, mais le mécanisme exact est inconnu.…”
