Are arterial stiffness and inflammation associated with proteinuria and left ventricular hypertrophy in non-diabetic hypertensive patients?
In non-diabetic patients with essential hypertension, arterial stiffness and inflammation are correlated and associated with target organ damage such as proteinuria.
SI was significantly correlated with hsCRP. Arterial stiffness and inflammation were increased in association with proteinuria in non-diabetic essential hypertension.
