Objective: To explore the relationship between plasma homocysteine (Hcy) and micro albuminuria in Chinese patients with hypertension.
Methods: 150 Chinese patients with hypertension were enrolled from October 2012 to April 2013 in Zhabei Central Hospital and Tongji hospital in Shanghai. Plasma level of Hcy, micro albuminuria, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein and fasting blood-glucose were measured, meanwhile possible related risk factors such as smoking, alcohol drinking were assessed. The enrolled patients were divided into two groups according to the plasma level of Hcy: hyperhomocysteinemia (Hcy) group (Hcy>15 μmol/L, male 41 cases, female 39 cases) and non- Hcy group (Hcy ≤ 15 μmol/L, male 32 cases, female 38 cases).
Results: The level of microalbumi.. Read More»
