Background: Hypertension in young adults is often due to secondary causes, and investigating these can be resource-intensive. This study aimed to identify clinical and biochemical markers that could suggest secondary hypertension in individuals under 40 years.
Materials And Methods: A 6-year retrospective observational cohort study included 207 young adults with hypertension who were assessed for secondary causes such as hyperthyroidism, primary aldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma, and renovascular disease.
