Article Synopsis
- - The study looked into masked hypertension in children with nephrotic syndrome, highlighting that this condition can go undetected during regular health check-ups and negatively impact heart function.
- - Ninety children participated, with results showing that 35% had masked hypertension, and those with hypertension had higher serum urea and lower serum albumin levels compared to those without hypertension.
- - Findings also indicated that the interventricular septum measurements were significantly higher in the hypertensive group, and a majority of the hypertensive patients were classified as "systolic non-dippers," meaning their blood pressure did not drop overnight.
