ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the hemorheological changes in children with essential hyepertension,and explore their clinical significance.Methods The hemorheological parameters,blood lipid,blood glucose in 37 children with essential hyepertension [19 boys and 18 girls,median age(12.49?3.20) years] were measured and analyzed.The parameters in 30 healthy children were measured as controls.SPSS 11.5 software was used to analyze the data.Results The whole blood viscosity under high,middle and low shear rate,plasma viscosity,hematocrit,rigidity index of erythrocyte,platelet aggregation M were significantly higher in hypertension group than those in healthy control group(Pa0.05).Conclusions There have been developed significant hemorheological changs in children with essential hypertension.The hemorheological changes might play an important role in pathogenesis of childhood hypertension.
