Evaluation of relationship between markers of inflammation and blood pressure in subjects attending OPD in a tertiary care center in Chennai

Hemalatha P, Prince Johnson Samuel.

Abstract
Background: The incidence and prevalence of hypertension have been increasing steadily in the present era. Inflammation is a proven key factor in the pathogenesis of hypertension. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a known marker of vascular inflammation leading to hypertension. High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is a sensitive marker of assessment of inflammatory changes before the rise in CRP.

Aims and Objectives: The goal of this study was to decipher the stage at which inflammation starts related to changes in hypertension using CRP as well as hs-CRP.

Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study which included 120 individuals, who were subdivided into three groups - Normotensive: 40, pre-hypertensive: 40, and hypertensive. JNC classification was used for the categorization of blood pressure. hs-CRP was analyzed as per the principle of ELISA.

Results: There was a significant difference in hs-CRP between normotensive and hypertensive. A strong association between hypertension, CRP, and hs-CRP was found.

Conclusion: hs-CRP is a sensitive marker for early assessment of inflammatory components in hypertension.

Key words: Pre-hypertensive; Hypertensive; C-reactive Protein; High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein
