OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate whether a simple and easily calculated parameter such as monocyte/HDL ratio (MHR) may be used in predicting non-dipper (NDHT)-dipper HT (DHT) end organ damage. METHODS: 70 NDHT and 73 DHT patient groups were included in the study according to ambulatory blood pressure screening results. Basic laboratory parameters and spot urine samples were evaluated. Transthoracic echocardiography and ophthalmological examination were performed for end-organ damages. RESULTS: The MHR among the groups was higher in the NDHT group; which was statistically significant (p=0.001). In the NDHT group, albumin, creatinine, protein values, protein/creatinine ratio in the spot urine were significantly higher than in the DHT group (p=0.05). Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and retinopathy were also more frequently observed in the NDHT group (p=0.001 and p=0.001, respectively). MHR in patients with LVH and retinopathy was significantly higher than in those without these complications (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: Easy to use, non-invasive and simple calculation, MHR can be used to predict end organ damage in hypertensive cases, and can be also used to distinguish between DHT/NDHT groups. This data supports the role of inflammation (Tab. 7, Ref. 14). Text in PDF www.elis.sk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
