A case of secondary erythrocytosis and hypertension caused by unilateral hydronephrosis is reported. Erythropoietin level in plasma was normal and peripheral plasma renin activity was slightly elevated. After nephrostomy, the hypertension disappeared and peripheral plasma renin activity returned to normal. But erythrocytosis was continued and left nephrectomy was performed. A histologic examination revealed fibrous tissue and atrophic glomeruri on the kidney. After surgery, erythrocytosis disappeared. Some discussion is made on secondary hypertension and erythrocytosis caused by hydronephrosis.
