A Clinical Update on Childhood Hypertension.

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is one of the leading morbid factors in adults but often a less noticeable concern in childhood age group. Young population is now more vulnerable to lifestyle disorders leading to early chronic diseases if not addressed due to presence of ignorance and inadequate assessment. To label hypertension in pediatric age group, blood pressure should be ≥ 95th percentile for age, height and sex in small children.

OBJECTIVE: Purpose of review is to unfurl the knowledge for monitoring and management of hypertension in children. We emphasize the need to spread awareness in community, especially in rural areas of low and middle economy nations, which is surely lacking despite available tools for more then 60-70 years.

OUTCOME: Comprehensive clinical update on recent information on epidemiology, the diagnosis, evaluation and management of pediatric hypertension for outpatient clinic practice.
