I have hypertension (160/110) since i was 15, never measured till that. also doubled kidney. heart palpitation. doctors can't tell exact reason.

High renin BP: 160/ 110 is quite high bp. You mention your renin level is high.High renin increases angiotensin & bp. It can be high for many reasons liver problem, heart failure, addison's disease, kidney disease( you already have double kidneys). Mostly the primary causes of hypertension are unknown. The secondary causes are few. You may want to see a nephrologist associated with research center. Good luck.
