Area of Science:

  • Clinical pathology
  • Internal medicine
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Hypertension diagnosis and management require comprehensive patient evaluation.
  • Identifying secondary causes of hypertension is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the essential role of the clinical laboratory in hypertension assessment.
  • To outline the utility of basic screening tests in detecting secondary hypertension.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the role of laboratory diagnostics in hypertension.
  • Integration of clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory screening.

Main Results:

  • Clinical laboratory evaluation is fundamental for diagnosing hypertension.
