A patient who presented with hypertension of recent onset was found to have unilateral hydronephrosis. Increased activity of the renin-angiotensin system was documented with renal-vein-renin concentrations. The hydronephrosis was due to a primary transitional cell carcinoma of the ureter. Following nephroureterectomy, blood pressure returned to normal and has remained so for two years.
Myoglobinemia and/or myoglobinuria was demonstrated in 12 of 17 unconscious children studied. Myoglobinemia was noted in patients with serum CPK levels above 200-250 units. Ten of the 12 patients in whom myoglobinemia was present had convulsions. Some degree of renal disturbance was noted in six of seven patients with myoglobinuria. Five patients, including four with renal disturbance, died. In unconscious children with myoglobinuria the possibility of a disturbance of renal function should always be considered.
