The case we have chosen is Hypertension 2 ASHD.
Hypertension is one of the most commonworldwide diseases afflicting humans.
Because of the associated morbidity and mortalityand the cost to society, hypertension is animportant public health challenge.
We chose this case because most of our family
members experience Hypertension.
This case will help us further understand the saidcondition.

Hypertension (HTN) orhigh bloodpressure, sometimes arterialhypertension, is a chronic medicalcondition in which the blood pressure inthe arteries is elevated.
This requires the heart to work harderthan normal to circulate blood throughthe blood vessels.
Blood pressure involves twomeasurements, systolic and diastolic,which depend on whether the heartmuscle is contracting (systole) or
relaxed (diastole) between beats. Normal blood pressure is at or below
120/80 mmHg.
High blood pressure is said to bepresent if it is persistently at or above140/90 mmHg

3 days PTA, the patientexperienced increasedblood pressure noted tobe 230/130. he selfmedicated withLosartan and BP wasdecreased.
Few hours PTA patients
BP rose to 230/100which prompted him forconsultation at USTHOPD hence admission.

Urinalysis- ordered to help assess kidney function Hematocrit- may be ordered as part of CBC to
evaluate the ratio of fluid to solids in the blood Urea nitrogen and creatinine- to detect or monitor
kidney dysfunction or to monitor the effect ofmedications on the kidney
Potassium- may be ordered as part of electrolytepanel ; used to monitor and balance the bodyselectrolytes; some high BP can upset the balance by
causing excessive sodium and potassium loss Lipid profile- may be ordered to evaluate levels of
total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol,and triglycerides

Medulla Oblongata; relaysmotor and sensory impulsesbetween other parts of thebrain and the spinal cord.
Reticular formation (also inpons, midbrain, anddiencephalon) functions inconsciousness and arousal.Vital centers regulateheartbeat, breathing(together with pons) andblood vessel diameter.

Hypothalamus; controlsand intergrates activities ofthe autonomic nervoussystem and pituitary gland.
Regulates emotional andbehavioral patterns andcircadian rhythms. Controlsbody temperature andregulates eating and
drinking behavior. Helpsmaintain the waking stateand establishes patterns ofsleep. Produces thehormones oxytocin andantidiuretic hormone.

Baroreceptor, pressure-sensitive sensory receptors, arelocated in the aorta, internalcarotid arteries, and otherlarge arteries in the neck and
chest. They send impulses tothe cardiovascular center inthe medulla oblongata tohelp regulate blood pressure.The two most importantbaroreceptor reflexes are the
carotid sinus reflex and theaortic reflex.

Chemoreceptors, sensory receptors that monitor thechemical composition of blood, are located close to thebaroreceptors of the carotid sinus and the arch of the aortain small structures called carotid bodies and aortic bodies,
respectively. These chemoreceptors detect changes in bloodlevel of O2, CO2, and H+.

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system.When blood volume falls or blood flowto the kidneys decreases,juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneyssecrete renin into the bloodstream. Insequence, renin and angiotensin
converting enzyme (ACE) act on theirsubstrates to produce the activehormone angiotensin II, which raisesblood pressure in two ways. First,angiotensin II is a potentvasoconstrictor; it raises blood pressureby increasing systemic vascularresistance. Second, it stimulates
secretion of aldosterone, whichincreases reabsorption of sodium ionsand water by the kidneys. The waterreabsorption increases total bloodvolume, which increases bloodpressure.

Antidiuretic hormone. ADHis produced by thehypothalamus and
released from the posteriorpituitary in response todehydration or decreasedblood volume. Amongother actions, ADH causesvasoconstriction, which
increases blood pressure.
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide.Released by cells in theatria of the heart, ANP
lowers blood pressure bycausing vasodilation andby promoting the loss ofsalt and water in the urine,which reduces bloodvolume.
