High Blood Pressure Children


High blood pressure in children and rare diseases often arise as a result of type of secondary hypertension, where high blood pressure due to the infection of another disease.

It is known that the level of blood pressure in children than in adults and increase gradually over the first two decades of life so different from the definition of disease, high blood pressure in children than in adults. There are small volumes of blood pressure measuring devices especially for use with children.
One of the reasons the disease:
1 - congenital kidney disease that the child was born, and learned it had suffered after the birth where a child is in his body swelling and high blood pressure.
2 - cases of high blood cholesterol as a result of genetic factors, and where the disease exists in the family and is transmitted to high blood pressure children.
3 - small renal artery, which could lead to kidney failure and high blood pressure.
4 - tumors of the adrenal gland, leading to water retention and sodium within the body and to reduce the arteries leading to high blood pressure in children.
5 - brain tumors, pediatric tumors of the nervous system. All of these reasons can be cured and therefore possible to control high blood pressure associated with these diseases and thus Khvza to normal levels in children.
A medical study confirmed that persons, who were breastfed from mothers naturally, in the early stages of childhood, less likely to have high arterial blood pressure in the stages of youth and middle age.
The researchers found at the University of Bristol said that breastfeeding was effective in maintaining blood pressure in children, within the acceptable limits, in the same sport and reduce the effectiveness of salt for hypertensive patients than adults.
They noted in their study, they conducted more than two thousand children from Denmark, Estonia, to determine the relationship between breastfeeding and the number of cases and the factors that lead to coronary heart disease that whenever there was periods of maternal breastfeeding longer, the more protective effect on blood pressure When the child is greater.
The doctors explained that high blood pressure is a rise in systolic blood pressure, which forces the heart to pump blood to parts of the body to over 140 millimeters of mercury, which increases the risk of strokes and cardiac arrest, kidney failure, and serious problems in blood vessels.
They noted in the journal "Archives of Disease in Childhood," that children who were breastfed by their mothers, enjoy the normal blood pressure, and this effect was noted in both countries, regardless of differences in dietary habits and social relations between the two populations.
The researchers observed, after adjusting for height, weight and growth stages, the systolic blood pressure was lower in children who were breastfed by their mothers for at least 6 months, about 7.1 millimeters of mercury.
Comparing the effectiveness of salt reduction in lowering blood pressure in adults, which amounted to 3.1 mm Hg, and physical activity reduced, by about 7.0 millimeters of mercury, it was found that breastfeeding reduces the high pressure just as effectively, lasts longer, too.
It was unclear why the protective effect of breast milk on blood pressure in children, but it is believed that the fatty acids is a multi-saturation, and long-chain contained therein, is available in infant formula milk, may play a key role in normal growth and healthy development of children.
The previous research has shown that breastfeeding protects children from infections and inflammation, and protect the mother of osteoporosis and ovarian cancer.
