Why the study?
Hypertension causes major complications, and addressing it in young adults is crucial due to potentially reversible causes and benefits of early intervention.
In young adults (18-40 years) with newly diagnosed hypertension, secondary causes are highly prevalent (58%), predominantly driven by chronic kidney disease and thyroid disorders, highlighting the need for thorough etiological screening in this demographic.
