Juxtaglomerular cell tumor (reninoma) as a cause of arterial hypertension in adolescents. A case report.

Severe arterial hypertension (HTN) in pediatrics is mainly due to secondary causes. Here we describe the case of a 14-year-old female adolescent with severe HTN, metabolic alkalosis, and hypokalemia, secondary to a renin-secreting juxtaglomerular cell tumor diagnosed after 2 years of HTN progression.

Early programming of hypertension.

Hypertension (HTN) is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and should be included in the study of developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD). during gestation and perinatal life may affect developmental plasticity, during which the fetus adapts to environmental conditions that pose During intrauterine and perinatal development, different environmental factors have an impact on the early programming of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). This review provides a summary of the evidence that connects the fetus' plasticity and adaptive changes to unfavorable environmental factors that alter the adult phenotype in the development of HTN.

[Experience with 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in follow-up of patients with aortic coartacion in a pediatric hospital].

Introduction: Hypertension (HTA) is an important comorbidity in children with aortic coarctation (COAO) and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) allows an accurate diagnosis.

Objective: Describe the prevalence of HTA in the office and its recategorization with ABPM

Material And Methods: Descriptive, observational, retrospective study; It included children between 4 and 18 years with COAO who performed ABPM. PA was registered in the office and ABPM, echocardiogram and medication.

May Measurement Month 2017: analysis of the blood pressure screening results in Argentina-Americas.

Hypertension is a growing concern worldwide, causing over 10 million deaths each year. The prevalence of high blood pressure (BP) in Argentina is 36.3% and 38% of these are unaware of their disease.

Prevalence of masked hypertension among children with risk factors for arterial hypertension.

Introduction: Masked hypertension (MH) in children is defined as normal office blood pressure values and high values outside the clinical setting. The 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is helpful for diagnosis. There is little information on MH prevalence in our population.
