Differential diagnosis: Renal artery stenosis (ICD10 I70.1) Chronic kidney disease (ICD10 I12.9) Hyperthyroidism(ICD10E05.90) Plan Diagnosis is based on the clinical evaluation through history, physical examination, and routine laboratory tests to assess risk factors, reveal identifiable causes and detect target-organ damage, including evidence of cardiovascular disease. These basic laboratory tests are: · CMP · Complete blood count · Lipid profile · Thyroid-stimulating hormone · Urinalysis · Electrocardiogram Pharmacological treatment:  The treatment of choice in this case would be: Thiazide-like diuretic and/or a CCB · Hydrochlorothiazide tab 25 mg, Initial dose: 25 mg orally once daily.  Non-Pharmacologic treatment:  · Weight loss · Healthy diet(DASH dietary pattern): Diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products with reduced content of saturated and trans l fat · Reduced intake of dietary sodium: <1,500 mg/d is optimal goal but at least 1,000 mg/d reduction in most adults · Enhanced intake of dietary potassium · Regular physical activity (Aerobic): 90“150 min/wk · Tobacco cessation · Measures to release stress and effective coping mechanisms.
