What Causes Swollen Abdomen And High BP In Year Old Baby?
hi, this is not a question about me, i am in college for medical billing and coding and i have looked everywhere in my book and online for the answer to a question on an assignment but i cant seem to find it, if a one year old is taken to the hospital with a swollen abdomen and extremely high blood pressure, what is the name of his disorder? Can you help me?

Most likely neuroblastoma or phaeochromocytoma. A few others I can think of are abdominal compartment syndrome (where the intra abdominal pressure is high, not the blood pressure), portal hypertension , nephritic syndrome.
Hope this helps!
