Serum Klotho protein in hypertensive patient with brain harm and analysis of associated risk factors / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the changes of the Klotho protein expression in blood serum of hypertensive patients with brain harm,so as to investigate the incidence mechanism of brain harm caused by hypertension and the associated risk factors.Methods The research objects were recruited from the hypertensive in-patients and healthy individuals from health examination during September 2007 to March 2008 in our hospital.There were 56 hypertensive patients without syndrome,104 hypertensive patients with brain harm,and 30 normal control individuals,They all were marched in sex and age.Klotho protein concentration of blood serum,cholesterin,creatinine,blood glucose and blood pressure of these 3 groups were tested.And correlation analysis of the above factors and the patients' ages and hypertension medical records was performed.Results The Klotho protein concentration of blood serum in the normal control group was obviously higher than that of the hypertensive patients without syndrome and those with brain harm(P
