Consequently, the patient was intubated and transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). She also developed rhabdomyolysis. Blood pressure tests, including hormonal tests (aldosterone: 13.2 ng/dL, plasma renin activity: 0.32 ng/mL/h), were conducted. Due to the high aldosterone-renin ratio, an abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) scan was performed.
