Abstract:
Objective To analyze the association of serum γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(γ-GT)level with carotid intima media thickness(IMT) in essential hypertension.Methods All the 300 essential hypertension patients and 70 healthy controls were from Ganzhou People′s Hospital.They were divided into healthy control group(70 cases),hypertension with out arteriosclerosis group(141 cases) and hypertension with arteriosclerosis group(159 cases) based on carotid IMT.Fasting blood glucose,serum lipid,routine laboratory tests,hepatic and renal function were detected by routine methods.The one-way analysis of variance and χ2-test were used to compared among the three groups,and the relationship of γ-GT with IMT was assessed by using the Spearman correlation coefficient,multiple linear regressions and Logistic regression analysis.Results The diastolic blood pressure,body mass index,fasting blood glucose,glomerular filtration rate and glycosylated hemoglobin had no differences among the three groups(P>0.05),but systolic pressure,triacylglycerol,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein cholesterol,aspartate transaminase(AST),low density lipoprotein cholesterol alanine,transaminase(ALT) and γ-GT had significant differences among the three groups(P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the serum γ-GT(β=-0.345,95%CI was-0.005——0.511,P=0.036) was also negatively correlated with IMT,and Logistic regression analysis showed that γ-GT(OR=0.569,95%CI was 0.237-0.867,P=0.029)was a protective factor for atherosclerosis.Conclusion Our study demonstrated the level of γ-GT is negative with IMT among essential hypertension patients,and monitoring the changes of serum liver enzyme might has significant effect on the early detection of arteriosclerosis.
