Abstract:
Hypertension is a global problem,affecting both developed and developing nations. The mor-bidity of hypertension in children and adolescents has increased year by year in recent years. Hypertension in children can cause target organ damages(mainly renal,cardiovascular,central neurological,or optic fundal). In clinical practice,we need to find simple and easy methods for early recognition of target organ damages,thus se-rious consequences in adult hypertension may be prevented.
