The study of the angitensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism in hepatorenal syndrome / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the insertion/deletion(I/D) polymorphism of ACE gene in uncompen-sated hepatocirrhosis with hepatorenal syndrome(HRS). Methods ACE I/D polymorphism was detected by poly-merase chain reaction amplification of DNA fragment in 96 cases of uncompensated bepatocirrhnsis with HRS, every group as controls were involved in this study. At the same time,GPT,GOT,sarum creatinine(SCr), blood urea nitro-gen(BUN) and glomerular filtration rate(GFR) of every case were measured and the difference of these targets among different genotypes were compared. Results There was no significant difference for every genotype and allele fre-quency between the HRS group and every group as controls(P >0.05). The I allele frequencies were higher than the one of D allele for every groups except other liver disease group(P < 0.01). But in the every group as controls, there was no significant difference for the genotype frequency among three groups and in the HRS group, the Ⅱ genotype frequency was higher than the one of ID and DD(P < 0.05). SCr etc. of the Ⅱ genotype were higher than the one of ID and DD(P<0.05) and GFR of the Ⅱ genotype was lower than the one of ID and DD in the HRS group(P<0.05). Conclusion There was relationship between ACE gene polymorphism and the incidence of uncompensated bepatocirrhosis with HRS.
