    • The Pediatric Hypertension Program at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital has multidisciplinary physician expertise to provide a unique comprehensive approach to the evaluation and management of infants, children and adolescents with hypertension. 

    A particular strength of our program is our collaborative care of children with aortic and kidney vascular (related to the blood vessels) disease in association with our world-class vascular surgeons. U-M Health is a leader in the surgical repair of these diseases in children.

    Services

    There are two types of hypertension:

    • Primary hypertension – no identifiable reason for having high blood pressure
    • Secondary hypertension – high blood pressure caused by another medical condition, such as kidney problems or diabetes

    If hypertension is not treated, it can lead to other medical problems, including heart failure, kidney failure or stroke.

    Testing

    • Blood pressure monitoring (a portable way to regularly take blood pressure readings that your doctor monitors)
    • Pediatric echocardiography (using ultrasound to examine anatomy of the heart to diagnose changes caused by poorly-controlled hypertension)

    Treatments

    • Lifestyle changes (exercise, relaxation techniques)
    • Drug therapy
