Secondary hypertension refers to high blood pressure that is caused by an underlying medical condition or medication, rather than being the primary disorder itself. Shashi Advanced Health in Bangalore offers specialized care and comprehensive evaluation for individuals with secondary hypertension, aiming to identify the underlying cause and develop targeted treatment plans to effectively manage blood pressure.

Evaluation:

1. Medical History Review: At Shashi Advanced Health, Bangalore, a detailed medical history review is conducted to identify potential risk factors, such as family history of hypertension, medication use, and underlying medical conditions that may contribute to secondary hypertension.

2. Physical Examination: A thorough physical examination is performed to assess for signs of secondary causes of hypertension, such as abnormalities in the heart, kidneys, or endocrine system.

3. Laboratory Tests:Comprehensive laboratory tests, including blood tests to assess kidney function, electrolyte levels, and hormone levels (e.g., renin, aldosterone), may be conducted at Shashi Advanced Health, Bangalore, to evaluate for underlying medical conditions contributing to secondary hypertension.

4. Imaging Studies: Imaging studies, such as renal ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scans, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may be performed to assess the structure and function of the kidneys and adrenal glands, which can help identify potential causes of secondary hypertension, such as renal artery stenosis or adrenal tumors.

5. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring may be recommended at Shashi Advanced Health, Bangalore, to assess blood pressure patterns over a 24-hour period and identify white coat hypertension or nocturnal hypertension, which may indicate underlying secondary causes.
