Introduction: Chronic hypertension can cause complication such as left ventricular <br />hypertrophy (LVH).  LVH can lead renal artery vasoconstriction, impaire blood perfusion <br />to glomerulus and change glomerulus filtration coeficient. The aim of this study was to<br />compare kidney function between hypertensive patient with LVH and without LVH<br />Methods: This was a case control study that conducted at Dr. Moewardi General<br />Hospital Surakarta. All subjects has been diagnosed as hypertension more than 5 years.<br />The diagnosis of LVH was based on electrocardiography (ECG) result. Kidney function<br />was assessed based on serum ureum, creatinin, and uric acid  levels.<br />Results: The subject of this study was 26 hypertension patients with LVH and 13<br />hypertension patients without LVH. Serum ureum level in patients with LVH was higher<br />than hypertension patients without LVH(24.92 ± 7.99 Vs 32.33±9.91, p= 0.004). Serum<br />uric acid level in hypertension patients with LVH was higher compare to hypertension<br />patients without LVH as well (5.26 ± 1.15 Vs 6.98 ± 1.83, p= 0.029). Whereas serum<br />creatinine levels were not significantly different between two groups of subjects.  <br />Sulastomo et.al., Left Ventricular Hypertrophy dan Fungsi Ginjal pada Penderita Hipertensi <br />Conclusion: : Serum ureum and uric acid levels in hypertensive subjects with LVH are<br />higher than subjects without LVH. There is no difference between serum creatinin level in<br />hypertensive subject with LVH and without LVH.<br /><br /><br />

Abstract Background Conflicting information exists regarding the association between insulin resistance (IR) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). We described the associations between obesity, fasting insulinemia, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and LVH in Black patients with essential hypertension. Methods A case–control study was conducted at the Centre Médical de Kinshasa (CMK), the Democratic Republic of the Congo, between January and December 2019. Cases and controls were hypertensive patients with and without LVH, respectively. The relationships between obesity indices, physical inactivity, glucose metabolism and lipid disorder parameters, and LVH were assessed using linear and logistic regression analyses in simple and univariate exploratory analyses, respectively. When differences were observed between LVH and independent variables, the effects of potential confounders were studied through the use of multiple linear regression and in conditional logistic regression in multivariate analyses. The coefficients of determination (R2), adjusted odds ratios (aORs), and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated to determine associations between LVH and the independent variables. Results Eighty-eight LVH cases (52 men) were compared against 132 controls (81 men). Variation in left ventricular mass (LVM) could be predicted by the following variables: age (19%), duration of hypertension (31.3%), body mass index (BMI, 44.4%), waist circumference (WC, 42.5%), glycemia (20%), insulinemia (44.8%), and HOMA-IR (43.7%). Hypertension duration, BMI, insulinemia, and HOMA-IR explained 68.3% of LVM variability in the multiple linear regression analysis. In the logistic regression model, obesity increased the risk of LVH by threefold [aOR 2.8; 95% CI (1.06–7.4); p = 0.038], and IR increased the risk of LVH by eightfold [aOR 8.4; 95 (3.7–15.7); p < 0.001]. Conclusion Obesity and IR appear to be the primary predictors of LVH in Black sub-Saharan African hypertensive patients. The comprehensive management of cardiovascular risk factors should be emphasized, with particular attention paid to obesity and IR. A prospective population-based study of Black sub-Saharan individuals that includes the use of serial imaging remains essential to better understand subclinical LV deterioration over time and to confirm the role played by IR in Black sub-Saharan individuals with hypertension.

The aim is the analysis of hyperuricemia influence on the heart features in patients with arterial hypertension. Materials and methods: We include 75 patients with arterial hypertension which were divided in two groups according to the level of uric acid in the blood, 30 practically healthy people. Patients from the I group (n = 40) had arterial hypertension and coexistent hyperuricemia; ІІ (n = 35) – arterial hypertension. Left ventricular mass index was determined for left ventricular hypertrophy confirmation. We used clinical, anthropometric, biochemical, instrumental, statistical method. Serum uric acid level was observed by the reaction with uricase. Left ventricular mass index was calculated as left ventricular mass to body surface area ratio. The results were analyzed statistically by SPSS 21 and Graphpad. Results: Left ventricular mass index was significantly higher (р = 0,0498) in patients from the І group (109,7 ± 3,21) g/m2 comparable with the ІІ (97,6 ± 5,35) g/m2 and increased in proportion to the biggest level of uric acid (r = 0,31; p = 0,04) in patients with arterial hypertension and hyperuricemia. Conclusions: Concentric and excentric left ventricular hypertrophy, increased left ventricular mass index proportionally to uric acid levels (r = 0,31; p = 0,04) is the confirmation of important role of hyperuricemia in the left ventricular hypertrophy development in patients with arterial hypertension.

Abstract Background The impact of serum uric acid (UA) on morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients is quite controversial in relation to the general population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of serum UA with both mortality and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in HD patients. Methods This longitudinal study enrolled 225 prevalent HD patients who were classified into three groups according to their follow-up-averaged UA (FA-UA) levels: low FA-UA (FA-UA &lt;400 µmol/L), intermediate/reference FA-UA (FA-UA between 400 and 450 µmol/L) and high FA-UA (FA-UA &gt;450 µmol/L). Echocardiography was performed on a nondialysis day and the presence of LVH was defined based on a left ventricular mass index (LVMI) &gt;131 and &gt;100 g/m2 for men and women, respectively. The patients were followed during a 60-month period. Results The mean FA-UA level was 425 ± 59 µmol/L (range 294–620). There was a consistent association of higher FA-UA with better nutritional status (higher body mass index, normalized protein catabolic rate, creatinine, albumin and phosphorus), higher hemoglobin, but lower C-reactive protein and LVMI. During the 5-year follow-up, 81 patients died (36%) and the main causes of death were cardiovascular (CV) related (70%). When compared with the reference group, the hazard ratio for all-cause mortality was 1.75 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–2.98; P = 0.041] in the low FA-UA group, but there was no significant association with the high FA-UA group. In contrast, FA-UA did not show an association with CV mortality neither with the lower nor with the high FA-UA group. The unadjusted odds ratio (OR) of LVH risk in the low FA-UA compared with the reference FA-UA group was 3.11 (95% CI 1.38–7.05; P = 0.006), and after adjustment for age, gender, diabetes and CV disease, ORs for LVH persisted significantly only in the low FA-UA group [OR 2.82 (95% CI 1.16–6.88,); P = 0.002]. Conclusions Low serum UA is a mortality risk factor and is associated with LVH in HD patients. These results are in contrast with the association of UA in the general population and should be the subject of further research.
