Hemoglobin as a possible biochemical index of hypertension-induced vascular damage
BACKGROUND: We previously reported on the positive association of hemoglobin with hypertension and atherosclerosis. On the other hand, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been evaluated as a possible biochemical index of hypertension-induced vascular damage. However, no studies have reported on a cor...

description | BACKGROUND: We previously reported on the positive association of hemoglobin with hypertension and atherosclerosis. On the other hand, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been evaluated as a possible biochemical index of hypertension-induced vascular damage. However, no studies have reported on a correlation between hemoglobin and HGF accounting for hypertension status. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 1108 subjects (392 men and 716 women, 40–93 years old) who were undergoing a general checkup in 2014 was conducted. RESULTS: Multiple linear regression analysis adjustment for known cardiovascular risk factors showed no significant correlation between hemoglobin and HGF in non-hypertensive subjects, but a significant positive correlation in hypertensive subjects; β (parameter estimate) = 0.3 (p = 0.975) for non-hypertensive men, β = 0.4 (p = 0.925) for non-hypertensive women, β = 32.7 (p < 0.001) for hypertensive men, and β = 18.7 (p = 0.002) for hypertensive women. CONCLUSION: We found a significant positive correlation between hemoglobin and HGF among hypertensive men and women. Like HGF, hemoglobin may be a useful indicator to evaluate hypertension-induced vascular damage. Since hemoglobin can easily be measured, these results support hemoglobin as an efficient tool to evaluate vascular damage induced by hypertension in daily medical practice. |
