RESUMO
Objective To explore the correlation between plasma Klotho and FGF23 levels with senile hypertension .Methods Totally 180 cases of hypertension aged more than 60 years old were selected as the research group and divided into the grade 1 hypertension group(60 cases) ,grade 2 hypertension group(60 cases) and grade 3 hypertension group(60 cases) .The age and pro‐portion of male to female were basically consistent .60 elderly people without hypertension were selected as the control group .The level of plasma Klotho and FGF23 protein were tested by ELISA .The lipid level was detected by the automatic biochemical analy‐zer .The detection results were compared with those in the control group for analyzing their correlation .Results Plasma Klotho protein level in each hypertension group was lower than that in the control group ,while plasma FGF23 protein level and BMI were significantly higher than those in the control group(P0 .05) .Conclusion Plasma Klotho protein and FGF23 protein levels have obvious correlation with the blood pressure level ,which may jointly participate in the occurrence and development of hypertension .
