Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between the different ambulatory arterial stiffness index and the markers of renal impairment in order to provide a scientific method for detecting the renal impairment of essential hypertension. Methods Three hundred essential hypertensive patients without overt proteinuria were enrolled. The ABPM was performed and the blood pressure parameters were analyzed in order to estimate the symmetrical ambulatory arterial stiffness index (S-AASI) and ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) . Microproteinuria was measured by urine microalbumin to creatinine (mAlb/Cr)as well as n-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG)to creatinine rate (NAG/Cr). Creatinine clearance (Ccr) and Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were estimated from serum creatinine (sCr) . Linear correlations were performed to confirm the independent predictive power of S-AASI and AASI for renal lesion. Results Correlation test showed a significant positively relationship of S-AASI with urine mAlb/Cr (0.708, <0.001), urine NAG/Cr (0.700, <0.001) and sCr (0.229, <0.05) . Ccr (0.601, <0.001) and eGFR (0.309, <0.05) were negatively correlated with S-AASI. On the other hand, AASI was also correlated with urine mAlb/Cr (0.489, <0.001),urine NAG/Cr (0.470, <0.001) and Ccr (0.311, <0.05),but not with the sCr (0.064, >0.05) and eGFR (-0.135, >0.05) . S-AASI seems to get an independent relationship with all of the parameters of renal impairment which could not be detected with AASI. Conclusion This results suggested that S-AASI may be a better approach than AASI to estimate hypertensive renal impairment.
