NCT ID NCT04752293
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at children ages 7 to 18 who have been newly diagnosed with high blood pressure. Researchers want to understand how certain hormones in the body, like angiotensin-(1-7), may contribute to damage in the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels. Over two years, they will collect blood and urine samples and measure blood pressure and organ function. The goal is to learn why some children develop complications, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
