Hello doctor! My son is 17 years old and has high blood pressure. The doctor who examined him advised him to go to a big hospital for an ultrasound scan of his veins to find the cause of high blood pressure. So the doctor asked me 17 years old with high blood pressure, should I go for an ultrasound scan to find the cause? Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.

Hello, sister. With the question: "Should 17-year-olds with high blood pressure go to an ultrasound to find the cause?" For her, the doctor would like to consult as follows:
Hypertension in young people (especially children) should be ruled out due to physical causes such as: adrenal tumor, pathology narrowing or malformation of renal blood vessels... You should have your child see a cardiologist at a reputable medical facility with full equipment or one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide to find out cause. From there, the most effective way to treat the disease.
Thank you for trusting and asking questions to Vinmec. Best regards!
