Abstract:
Endocrine hypertension is a common form of secondary hypertension. Affected patients often present without specific symptoms or signs, making the condition easy to overlook or misdiagnose. Early screening can greatly enhance the level of diagnosis while prompt treatment can improve the prognosis of patients. Based on clinical evidence and practice, the Chinese Endocrinologist Association and the Chinese Endocrine Hypertension Collaboration Group reached this consensus after extensive discussions on target populations, screening methods, interpretation of screening results, and other issues related to endocrine hypertension.
