- HbA1c screening for diabetes
- ECG to evaluate for CAD and LVH; look for changes associated with hypertensive heart disease
- Lipid profile to screen for other atherosclerotic risk factors
- Chemistry panel (electrolytes/creatinine) assessing renal function
- Urinalysis detects kidney damage (hematuria & urine protein/creatinine ratio)
- TSH anomalies are one of the most missed causes of secondary hypertension (both hypo- and hyperthyroidism can cause hypertension)
