Possible Conditions

  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

    Hypertension, which is increased blood pressure, is becoming more prevalent in children partially due to the present epidemic of obesity. Hypertension in children can also occur due to congenital abnormalities of kidneys and some inherited diseases. Uncontrolled hypertension can have serious effects on organs such as the brain, heart, eyes and kidneys.
