Background: The secondary hypertension (HTN) is the predominant form of HTN in pediatrics. Renal diseases and renovascular anomalies are the most commonly reported causes. In this study, we aimed to identify the prevalence, causes, and outcomes of secondary HTN in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among 3,640 pediatric patients aged between 0 and 18 years, admitted to the pediatric nephrology ward at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The study has been approved by the ethics review committee of King Abdulaziz University. Results: Prevalence of secondary HTN due to renal disease was (77.0%). Most of the cases were diagnosed with stage 5 renal disease (78.3%). Small kidney size was frequently diagnosed ( n = 29, 11.9%), followed by large kidney size ( n = 26, 10.7%). One third of the cases ( n = 79, 32.4%) were under control, 49 (20.1%) lost follow-up, and 24 (10.1%) deceased. A total of 61 (33.1%) patients progressed to end-stage renal disease and patientswere managed by different types of treatments. Conclusion: The prevalence of secondary HTN due to renal disease is considered to be high in pediatric patients admitted to King Abdulaziz University. Several renal diseases in the renal system are associated with secondary HTN mostly attriubuted to renal malformation. In addition, renal affection, cerebral infarction, bleeding, left ventricular hypertrophy, and valvular lesion are the highest reported complications in our population. Follow-up with ECHO and brain CT is highly recommended in pediatric HTN. Future studies on a larger sample and vigorous follow-up are recommended.

“…Similar prevalence of hypertension was reported in studies conducted by Sharma et al, Sundar et al and Das et al (20.0%, 21.5% and 19.7% respectively). [13][14][15] The prevalence of pre-hypertension was found to be 28.65%. Similarly Nagar et al reported 30.2% prevalence of pre-hypertension among School Going Adolescents in Surendranagar City, Gujrat.…”

Background: Hypertension once considered a problem of adults only in the high income countries, now dramatically is on the rise in low and middle income countries. An established predictor of adult hypertension and organ damage is childhood hypertension. Thus for the control, effective treatment and prevention of its complications, early diagnosis of hypertension in adolescents in an important strategy. The objective was to study the blood pressure profile and its socio-demographic determinants among school going adolescents in urban Agra.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was done among 534 adolescent in age group of 13-18 years studying in various government and private schools in urban Agra. Socio demographic details, anthropometric measurements and family history of hypertension were obtained. Also the dietary habits, physical activity, mode of transport to school were included in the present study. Blood pressure was measured at 0 and 30 minutes and average of two readings was taken as the final reading of that individual.Results: It was found that 49.82% of the study subjects had above normal blood pressure and among them 21.16% were hypertensive and 28.66% had pre-hypertension. Higher blood pressure showed a statistically significant (p<0.05) association with gender, age, dietary habits, physical activity, body mass index, and parental history of hypertension.Conclusions: Hypertension among the adolescent age group was very high. Prevalence of high blood pressure significantly associated with age, gender, family history of hypertension, physical activity, type of school and dietary habits.

“…This is consistent with previous studies that reported the value of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure were higher with an increase in body mass index, but not with weight gain. [27][28][29] Das et al 30 reported that an increase in age and BMI status increases the prevalence of hypertension in boys and girls. Al-Bachir et al 31 reported that obese adolescents have more abdominal fat associated with alteration factors affecting cardiometabolic such as an increase in LDL, triglycerides and blood pressure which in turn will lead to the risk of cardiovascular disease.…”

Obesity and overweight are considerable health problems with increasing prevalence among adolescents. In Indonesia, basic health research data from Riskesdas shows an increase in the prevalence of obesity in adolescents aged 13-15 y.o, from 2.6% in 2010 to 6.7% in 2013. This high prevalence of overweight and obesity is related to various factors. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with hypertension and obesity in adolescents. This study was conducted on an overweight population, obese, and super-obese adolescents aged 13-15 year in the Yogyakarta City, Indonesia. Demographic data included the history of breastfeeding, birth weight, gender, history of premature birth, lifestyle, and physical activity were gathered. Anthropometric data included the weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) were also measured and gathered. Hypertension was measured using a manual sphygmomanometer. The relationship was analyzed using Pearson chi-square and the risk value was demonstrated from the odds ratio (OR). A significant relationship between gender and diastolic hypertension was observed (OR= 2.4; 95%CI = 1.23 -5.09; p < 0.021). A significant difference related to the number of boy subjects between the 2 groups of overweight and obesity was also observed Compared with girls, boys had a higher risk of obesity (OR = 3.23). Other factors including breastfeeding, history of premature birth, low birth weight, and physical activity were not statistically significant between two groups in this study (p>0.05). in conclusion, there is a relationship between gender and diastolic hypertension incidence among obese adolescents. Boys are more at risk of obesity compared to girls.
