    Blood tests and urine tests can check for medical conditions that could cause high blood pressure by measuring electrolyte, cholesterol, and glucose levels in the blood and examining the urine for signs of infection or other issues. An electrocardiogram is a painless test that records electrical signals from the heart and can help determine if a heart problem is contributing to high blood pressure. Normal urine test values include a yellow color, clear appearance, pH between 4.5-8, and absence of blood, protein, bacteria, and other abnormalities.

    LABORATORY TESTS AND PROCEDURES

    Blood tests- Blood tests are often done to check levels of potassium, sodium, creatinine, blood glucose,
    and total cholesterol and triglycerides and others.
    A urine test(urinalysis)- A urine sample can contain markers that could point to medical conditions
    that can cause high blood pressure.
    Electrocardiogram(ECG or EKG)- This painless noninvasive test records the electrical signals in the
    heart. This test can help determine whether a heart problem might be causing secondary hypertension.
