Homocysteinemia in hypertensive patients with renal target organ damage (mild renal dysfunction).

Abstract:

:The prevalence of high plasmatic levels of homocysteine in hypertensive patients with mild renal dysfunction (MRD) defined by 2003 European Hypertension Society Guidelines (men plasmatic creatinine between 1.3 and 1.5; women plasmatic creatinine between 1.2 and 1.4 mg/dl) has not been previously reported. To evaluate this item 18 MRD patients were recruited (54% males, mean age 59.2 +/- 17.3 years, mean plasmatic creatinine 1.30 +/- 0.12 mg/dl). They were compared with a control group of hypertensives with normal renal function (n = 87, 42,9% males, mean age 53.6 +/- 12.3 years, mean plasmatic creatinine 0.83 +/- 0.21 mg/dl) and a group of 29 chronic renal failure patients (51.7% males, mean age 56.9 +/- 15.0 years, mean plasmatic creatinine 2.39 +/- 0.95 mg/dl). Age and sex differences are not significant, plasmatic creatinine levels are different among three groups (p <0.001, t student test). Basal homocysteine levels of CRF (19.3 +/- 7.1 micromol/l) were higher than those of control group (11,0 +/- 4,3 micromol/l) and MRD patients (14.8 +/- 5.5 micromol/l; p = 0.027 vs. CRF and p = 0.007 vs. control, Mann-Whitney test). Mean creatinine clearance was 30.3 +/- 11.5 ml/min for CRF group, significantly lower than MRD patients creatinine clearance (54.5 +/- 9.4 ml/min, p <0.001, t student test) and control ones (88,9 +/- 18,9 ml/min, p <0.001, t student test). Hypertensive patients with mild renal dysfunction showed higher and pathological levels of homocysteinemia as compared with controls, this finding might be related to the higher cardiovascular risk described in this group of patients.
