High Blood Pressure Easy To Miss In Children With Kidney DiseaseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Spot blood pressure readings in children with chronic kidney disease often fail to detect hypertension even during doctor's office visits increasing a child's risk for serious heart problems, according to research from Johns Hopkins Children's Center and other institutions. A report of the findings appears online in the Journal of American Society of Nephrology. (Source: Hypertension News From Medical News Today)
