Abstract
In children, hypertension by definition affects <5% of the paediatric population. In contrast to adults, where hypertension is typically idiopathic, a primary cause is often identified, especially in young children. This chapter reviews the definition and diagnosis of hypertension and the work-up to identify a potentially underlying cause. The latter is critical to instigate appropriate treatment.
