The Role of Asymmetric Dimethylarginine in the Pathogenesis of Hypertension in Children

Abstract

The paper presents the findings on prognostic significance of asymmetric dimethylarginine in children with primary hypertension. We observed 114 children with primary hypertension in age from 12 to 17 years. We established the correlation between the level of asymmetric dimethylarginine and duration of disease, clinical form of hypertension, rates of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
