چکیده

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of urinary protein and creatinine in combination with renal Doppler ultrasound examination in early renal damage of patients with hypertension. METHODS One hundred twenty two hypertensive patients who were treated in our hospital from December 2013 to June 2014 were selected for this study, including 33, 41 and 48 cases of Stage I, Stage II and Stage III hypertension respectively. Meanwhile, 30 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. They received urinary protein, creatinine and renal Doppler ultrasound examination. RESULTS The urinary protein levels of Stage I, II and Stage III hypertensive patients were significantly different from that of the control group (p<0.05). Urinary creatinine levels were similar (p>0.05) in stage I and II but different from control (p<0.05) in stage III. Doppler ultrasound examination showed that Stage I hypertensive patients had similar renal longest diameter (RLD), renal parenchymal thickness (RPT) and ratio of RPT/renal sinus thickness to those of the control group (p>0.05), and RLDs of Stage II hypertensive patients and the control group were not significantly different (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Urinary protein and creatinine levels in combination with renal Doppler ultrasound examination could diagnose early renal damage in patients with hypertension.

Comparative Assessment of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and Cystatin C as Early Biomarkers for Early Detection of Renal Failure in Patients with Hypertension

Background: Hypertension is one the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). One of the major concerns in hypertensive patients is early detection of renal disorders. In the past, serum creatinine (Scr) concentration was used as a marker of kidney function, but it proffers a late reflection of reduced glomerular filtration rate. Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocal...
