Hypertensive Crisis in Children
Hypertenzní krize u dětí
Hypertenzní krize je definována vysokou hodnotou krevního tlaku a přítomnosti symptomatického orgánového postižení. Jedná se buď o velmi naléhavé (emergentní) stavy, které bezprostředně ohrožují pacienta na životě v důsledku selhávání postižených orgánů, a nebo častěji o naléhavé stavy (urgentní), u kterých nedochází k bezprostřednímu selhávání orgánů v důsledku akcelerace hypertenze. U dětí se hypertenzní krize vyskytuje zřídka. Jedná se vždy o závažný stav, který vyžaduje okamžitou hospitalizaci, adekvátní terapii antihypertenzivy a monitoraci pacienta. Současně je třeba pátrat po příčině hypertenzní krize.

Overview
A hypertensive crisis is defined as a critical elevation in blood pressure and the presence of symptomatic organ damage. It includes either hypertensive emergencies with the presence of acute or ongoing end-organ damage or more common hypertensive urgencies without accompanying end-organ damage. Hypertensive crisis is rare in children. It always represents a serious situation, which requires immediate hospital admission, appropriate antihypertensive therapy and monitoring of the child. The cause of hypertensive crisis should be also investigated.
