The etiology of hypertension in children and adolescents is varied; however, the prevalence of pediatric primary hypertension is increasing. Early identification and appropriate management of hypertension in children and adolescents is important to prevent the development of hypertensive end organ disease. The 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Screening and Management of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents provide a comprehensive reference for evaluation and management of hypertension in this age group and should be used when assessing patients with elevated blood pressure and hypertension.
儿童和青少年高血压的病因多种多样；然而，儿童原发性高血压的患病率正在上升。早期识别并适当管理儿童和青少年的高血压对于预防高血压终末器官疾病的发展至关重要。2017年美国儿科学会儿童和青少年高血压筛查与管理临床实践指南为该年龄组高血压的评估和管理提供了全面参考，在评估血压升高和高血压患者时应予以使用。
