Abstract

Hyponatremia and malignant hypertension are rare manifestations of Wilms' tumor. Hyponatremia associated with malignant hypertension of any cause is not explained. We present a patient with hyponatremia, malignant hypertension, Wilms' tumor, and an elevated atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). We believe the elevated ANF caused the hyponatremia.
