A case of Liddle Syndrome.

Pediatric hypertension is usually secondary to an underlying identifiable cause, most often renal. Hypertension with low Plasma Rennin Activity (PRA), although rare, is important as it is often familial and is associated with single gene disorders (monogenic). It hence carries greater genetic implications for the family. The authors' hereby report a case of low PRA hypertension which was diagnosed as Liddle Syndrome, an autosomal dominant form of hereditary hypertension. Early detection and appropriate treatment may help to improve the long term morbidity and mortality in children with this condition.
