Association of hs-CRP with abnormality of glucose metabolism in patients with essential hypertension / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) with the abnormality of glucose metabolism in patients with essential hypertension.Methods Based on the level of fast plasma glucose(FPG) and 2-hours-plasma glucose(2hPG),120 patients with essential hypertension were divided into 3 groupsNormal glucose tolerance group(NGT),impaired glucose tolerance group(IGT)and diabetes mellitus group (DM).The hs-CRP was measured.Results The level of hs-CRP gradually increased from NGT to DM groups(P＜0.05).The level of hs-CRP was positively correlated with SBP,DBP,2hPG and FPG in patients with essential hypertension(r =0.48,0.37,0.46,0.31,P＜0.05).Conclusion The abnormality of glucose metabolism in patients with essential hypertension was related with hs-CRP.
