Overview
The Joint National Committee seventh report (JNC 7) defines hypertension as a systolic blood pressure of over 140 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mm Hg based upon the average of two or more properly measured readings at each of two or more visits after an initial screen[1].
Screening Test[1]
| Diagnosis | Diagnostic Tests |
| Chronic kidney disease | Estimate GFR |
| Coarctation of aorta | CT angiography |
| Cushing's syndrome and other glucocorticoid excess states including chronic steroid therapy | History; dexamethasone suppression test |
| Drug induced/related | History; drug screening |
| Pheochromocytoma | 24 hour urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine |
| Primary aldosteronism and other mineralocorticoid 24-hour urinary aldosterone level or excess states | 24-hour urinary aldosterone level or specific measurements of other mineralocorticoids |
| Renovascular hypertension | Doppler flow study; magnetic resonance angiography |
| Sleep apnea | Sleep study with O2 saturation |
| Thyroid/ Parathyroid disease | TSH; serum PTH |
