Pediatric Hypertension Registry (PHREG)

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Hypertension, Pediatric Disorder

In brief

Pediatric hypertension is increasingly common and is a precursor for adult cardiovascular and renal disease. But even during childhood, hypertension is associated with significant morbidity, including cognitive impairment and organ damage. However, the cause of pediatric hypertension, the response to treatment, and the mechanisms behind organ damage are incompletely understood. Due to these limitations, there are no first-line medications, and treatment is often inadequate. An improved comprehension of the course of pediatric hypertension could enhance clinical care. The goal of this proposal is to create a registry of patients with hypertension to better enable research into this important disease. This patient registry will enhance the investigators ability to quickly collect and analyze data for research studies.
