المصادر مختلفة. ملفات الدفعة فيها إجابتين، وما نرجّح وحدة على الثانية. سبب كل وحدة في الشرح تحت:
- إجابة: A. 38-year-old male his bp is 188/90 and his 24-hour blood measurement shows night dip
- إجابة ثانية: D. 19-year-old female has hypokalemia due to thiazide diuretics
This recalled question is unreliable. Source red flags for secondary HTN are severe/resistant HTN and onset at a young age (<30).
- A (bank key): severe HTN (188 systolic) at 38; but as written a nocturnal dip is normal — the original probably said no night dip (non-dipping suggests a secondary cause).
- D: age 19 is a red flag, but the hypokalaemia is explained by the thiazide.
- B (obesity) and C (Black patient responding poorly to ACE-I) fit primary HTN.
Don't memorise this key.

The red flags for secondary HTN include severe or resistant hypertension; a systolic of 188 in a 38-year-old fits that criterion in the HTN slides.

B
ليش غلط
Overweight and obesity are listed as the greatest modifiable risk factor for primary hypertension, not as a red flag for secondary hypertension.

C
ليش غلط
Black patients commonly have low-renin hypertension (sodium retention), a primary mechanism in which patients do not respond to ARBs or ACE-I drugs.

D
ليش صح
Onset of hypertension at a young age (under 30) is a listed red flag for secondary HTN, which supports this 19-year-old.
