Childhood hypertension has become a significant public health problem due to increased prevalence in recent decades. High blood pressure causes increased mortality and morbidity in childhood, precedes adult hypertension, and causes increased cardiovascular events in adulthood. These concerns have led to an update of guidelines about childhood hypertension by the European Society of Hypertension in 2016 and the American Academy of Hypertension in 2017. This review highlights the important developments in these guidelines and recent literature about childhood hypertension in terms of diagnosis, prevalence, risk factors, diagnostic tools, prevention and management.

Aim: Simple renal cyst is the most common cystic formation in adults. The relationship between simple renal cyst and hypertension incidence is still controversial. In this study it is aimed to determine any association between simple renal cyst and frequency of hypertension in patients with microscopic hematuria. Material and Methods: The study was designed by reviewing results of 200 patients with ages between 51 and 89 retrospectively and creating two groups, among 1075 patients who had undergone abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal computer tomography due to microscopic hematuria. The patients were evaluated into two groups regarding presence of simple renal cyst or not. The relationship between simple renal cyst and hypertension was analyzed. Results: There is no significant difference between two groups according to demographic features such as age and gender. Hypertension rate was not differ significantly between the simple renal cyst group and control group (p=0.471). It was detected that cyst size, presence of multiple cysts, cysts at more than one location and bilateral cysts were increased the hypertension rate in addition to age in patients with simple renal cyst (all p values <0.001). Cut-off level of cyst size for hypertension diagnosis was determined as ≥2 cm (AUC=0.949, 95% GA=0.903-0.995, p<0.001). Conclusion: As a result, we found a significant association between frequency of hypertension and presence of 2 cm and greater simple renal cysts, presence of multiple cysts and presence of bilateral cysts. Further prospective researches are required to determine the reason and the necessary management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Intraabdominal pressure is the pressure generated inside the abdominal cavity. The intraabdominal hypertension is a substantial clinical problem in intensive care patients. There has been an exponentially increasing interest in abdominal hypertension and the abdominal compartment syndrome over the last decade and different definitions have been suggested.
