Abstract

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation of serum high-sensitivity protein (hs-CRP) level and the clinical score of blood-stasis syndrome as well as the clinical indexes in hypertensive patients.

METHODSLevels of serum hs-CRP, blood lipids, fasting blood glucose (FBG), body mass index (BMI), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), fibrinogen (Fg), urinary albumin (UA), and score of blood-stasis syndrome (SBSS) in 117 patients were measured, and the relationship between hs-CRP and the other indexes was analyzed.

RESULTSSpearman rank correlation analysis showed that hs-CRP level was significantly positively correlated with SBSS, triglyceride (TG), FPG, BMI, LVMI, Fg, and UA, while negatively correlated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).

CONCLUSIONHs-CRP is closely related with the formation and development of blood-stasis syndrome in hypertensive patients.
