Abstract

Although the frequency of hypertension in children is lower than in adults, it is an important clinical problem in childhood. In addition, its definition, etiology and management are partly different than that in adults. Optimal determination of blood pressure in children requires the use of appropriate techniques and devices. In some cases, extensive investigations are necessary to diagnose the causes of hypertension. Diagnostic studies should be individualized and should follow clinical clues where possible. The management of hypertensive children requires a comprehensive approach incorporating patient and family education, nonpharmacological measures and antihypertensive medications. This article reviews detection, evaluation and management of high blood pressure in children and adolescents.

Özet

Çocuklarda hipertansiyon sıklığı yetişkinlere göre daha düşük olmasına rağmen, çocukluk çağında da önemli bir klinik sorundur. Hipertansiyonun tanımı, nedenleri ve yönetimi yetişkinlere göre kısmen farklıdır. Çocuklarda kan basıncının doğru belirlenmesi, uygun teknik ve cihazların kullanılmasını gerektirir. Bazı durumlarda, hipertansiyonun nedenlerini belirlemek için kapsamlı araştırmalar gerekir. Tanısal çalışmalar bireyselleştirilmeli ve klinik ipuçları iyi değerlendirilmelidir. Hipertansif çocukların tedavisi, hasta ve aile eğitimi, farmakolojik olmayan önlemler ve antihipertansif ilaçları içeren kapsamlı bir yaklaşım gerektirir. Bu makalede çocuk ve ergenlerde yüksek kan basıncı tespiti, değerlendirilmesi ve yönetimi gözden geçirilmiştir.
