Relationships between social support characteristics with blood pressure control and recommended behaviors in Vietnamese hypertensive patients have not been investigated. This study is aimed at examining the role of social support characteristics in hypertension control and behaviors. Patients with hypertension ( n = 220 ) in Hanoi, Vietnam, were recruited into a cross-sectional study. Both functional and structural characteristics of social support and network were examined. Results showed that increasing total network size was related to 52% higher odds of uncontrolled hypertension ( adjusted   OR = 1.52 , 95 % CI = 1.22 − 1.89 ). Higher network sizes on the provision of information support related to advice, emotional support related to decisions, and practical support related to sickness were associated with lower odds of uncontrolled hypertension. Every additional 1% of the percentage of network members having hypertension decreased 2% the odds of uncontrolled hypertension ( adjusted   OR = 0.98 , 95 % CI = 0.96 − 1.00 ). A 1% additional network members who were living in the same household was associated with a decrease of 0.08 point of behavioral adherence score ( coef . = − 0.08 ; 95 % CI = − 0.12 − 0.03 ). Meanwhile, a 1% increase of network members who were friends on the provision of practical support related to sickness and jobs was related to an increase of 0.10 point and 0.19 point of behavioral adherence score ( coef . = 0.10 ; 95 % CI = 0.04 − 0.17 and coef . = 0.19 ; 95 % CI = 0.06 − 0.32 , respectively). The current study suggested that further interventions to improve hypertension management should address the potential effects of social network characteristics.

Relationship Of

Inhibitors of sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension. In the study presented here, an attempt was made to determine whether differences in the plasma levels and the removal rates of high-molecular weight (HMW) and low-molecular weight (LMW) forms of Na-K-ATPase inhibitors might relate to blood-pressure control in hemodialysis (N = six ultrafiltered and N = six non-ultrafiltered) and CAPD (N = six long-term and N = five short-term) patients. The latter group was studied before the initiation of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and 2 wk after starting the treatment. The mean blood pressure was significantly reduced after dialysis in the nonultrafiltered hemodialysis group and in both CAPD groups. Plasma levels of both HMW and LMW inhibitors were found to be elevated before dialysis in all patients and were modified only slightly after dialysis. Irrespective of whether ultrafiltration was utilized in hemodialysis patients and despite significant losses of both HMW and LMW inhibitors into CAPD effluent. Because CAPD effluent was found to contain vasopressors that were not exclusively Na-K-ATPase inhibitors, losses of these other vasopressors may contribute to improved blood-pressure control in CAPD in contrast to hemodialysis.
