Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of angiotensin-converting en-zyme 2(ACE2),β2-microglobulin(β2-MG),angiopoietin like protein 3(ANGPTL3)and glucose and lipid me-tabolism in patients with primary aldosteronism(PA),and their diagnostic value for PA.Methods From May 2022 to May 2024,a total of 115 PA patients admitted to the hospital were regarded as the study group,and another 115 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations were included as the control group.En-zyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was applied to detect the levels of ACE2,β2-MG,and ANGPTL3.Pearson correlation was applied to analyze the correlation between serum ACE2,β2-MG,ANGPTL3 levels and glucose and lipid metabolism indicators in PA patients.Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of PA occurrence.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of ACE2,β2-MG,and ANGPTL3 for PA.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum β2-MG,ANGPTL3,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),fasting in-sulin(FINS),triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)in the study group were obviously increased(P＜0.05),while the levels of ACE2 and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were greatly decreased(P＜0.05).According to Pearson correlation,ACE2,β2-MG,ANGPTL3 were associated with FPG,HbA1c,FINS,TG,TC,LDL-C,and HDL-C(P＜0.05).According to multivariate Logistic analysis,β2-MG,ANGPTL3,FPG,HbA1c,FINS,TG,TC,and LDL-C were risk factors affecting the occurrence of PA(P＜0.05),while ACE2 and HDL-C were protective factors affecting the oc-currence of PA(P＜0.05).According to the ROC curve,the area under the curve(AUC)of serum ACE2,β2-MG,and ANGPTL3 levels for diagnosing PA was 0.742,0.772,and 0.806,respectively.The AUC of the com-bined diagnosis of the three for PA was 0.920,which was larger than the single detection(Z combination vs.ACE2=4.795,Zcombination vs.β2-MG=4.292,Zcombination vs.ANGPTL3=3.391,P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum β2-MG and ANGPTL3 are elevated in PA patients,the level of ACE2 is greatly reduced.ACE2,β2-MG and ANGPTL3 are associated with glucose and lipid metabolism,and their combined diagnostic value for PA is relatively high.
