ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the relationship between serum HGF levels and clinical severity of essential hypertension (EH).Methods:
The serum HGF concentrations of 44 patients with EH were measur ed by ELISA.Results:
The serum HGF levels in patients with EH w ere higher than that in control. Furthermore, the serum HGF levels of EH patient s with coronary atherosclerosis (CAS) were significantly higher than those of EH patients without CAS [(920.8±250.0) pg/ml vs (747.9±132.1) pg/ml, P <0.01] or control [(643.8±98.2) pg/ml, P<0.01)].The changes of HGF l evel were correlated with the clinical courses (r=0.63, P<0.01) and stag es (r=0.69, P<0.01) of hypertension.Conclusion:
HGF may be considered as a new index for the severity of hypertension and an useful bio chemical parameter for estimating the development of atherosclerosis.
