Hypertension caused by pituitary tumor can return to normal after the pituitary tumor is cured, but a few malignant untreated ones may not.
Hypertension caused by pituitary tumor belongs to one kind of secondary hypertension, mostly due to the significant increase of vasopressin and other hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, which causes peripheral blood vessel contraction, and then leads to the abnormal elevation of blood pressure.
Most of the pituitary tumors are benign, and surgical resection is the main treatment means. After the pituitary tumors are eradicated, the hormone secretion will return to normal, and the blood pressure will return to normal accordingly. Malignant pituitary tumors often need radiotherapy or targeted therapy. If the hormone level of the tumor is normalized, high blood pressure can be restored, but if a few of them are not cured, high blood pressure will not be easy to be normalized.
In addition to pituitary tumor, pheochromocytoma, adrenal tumor and other diseases can also cause secondary hypertension, through the treatment of the primary disease, hypertension can be normalized. When the high blood pressure is caused by pituitary tumor, it is recommended to actively consult the doctor to clarify the cause of the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out the corresponding treatment.
