Yield of diagnostic testing in evaluating etiology and end organ effects of pediatric hypertension.

A simplified secondary hypertension workup should be considered for all hypertensive children and adolescents. High yield investigations include a kidney ultrasound, lipid profile for overweight/obese children, and echocardiograms for assessment of target-organ damage. Further testing could be considered based on results of initial investigations for the most cost-effective management.
