Abstract
This study presents a comparative evaluation of laboratory parameters in pediatric patients diagnosed with essential and secondary arterial hypertension. The
analysis encompassed complete blood count indicators, lipid profile parameters, blood glucose levels, and C-reactive protein concentrations. The comparison revealed both shared trends and distinct differences between the two forms of hypertension. The findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge regarding metabolic and inflammatory alterations in pediatric arterial hypertension and may be applied in clinical practice to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide individualized patient management strategies.
