Abstract
Several pediatric urological conditions are known to cause hypertension. However, methodological flaws in the literature, including a lack of standardized blood pressure followup, highly variable patient populations and poor control of concomitant urological abnormalities, greatly limit the ability to establish a causative link between any 1 specific condition and hypertension. Early diagnosis, the prevention of infection, close clinical followup and early intervention remain the primary means of preventing pediatric urological causes of hypertension.
