AMINO ACID COMPOSITION OF BLOOD AND URINE IN CHILDREN WITH ESSENTIAL ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION
The problem of arterial hypertension in pediatric practice has become in recent decades more relevant in connection with the increasing frequency of increased blood pressure, torpidity to therapy and the risk of complications. The article presents changes in the amino acid composition of blood and urine in children with essential arterial hypertension. The amino acid proﬁ le of the blood plasma and urine of patients with essential arterial hypertension was characterized by an increase in the levels of valine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, glycine, and serine. A clinical case is presented, demonstrating an increase in the content of valine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, leucine in a patient with essential arterial hypertension. Changes in the amino acid proﬁ le with essential arterial hypertension appear in the early stages and may have prognostic value.
