Shift from severe hypotension to salt-dependent hypertension in a child with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease after bilateral nephrectomies: a case report.

Our case report illustrates an unusual course of blood pressure changes following bilateral nephrectomies in an infant with ARPKD and the particular importance of tight regulation of sodium chloride supplementation. The case adds to the scarce literature about clinical sequences of bilateral nephrectomies in infants, and as well highlights the challenge of managing blood pressure in these patients. Further research on the mechanisms and management of blood pressure control is clearly needed.
