End Organ Damage

Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of global burden of disease. Essential hypertension produces clinical proteinuria and microalbuminuria and is an early sign of kidney disease. Microalbuminuria has been shown to be a marker for end organ damage and results in retinopathy in the eye. Aims: The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between microalbuminuria and hypertensive retinopathy in patients of essential hypertension. Methods:This cross-sectional study was performed in 100 patients with essential hypertension of a tertiary care teaching hospital in eastern India, conducted between July 2020 to June 2021. Urinary albumin excretion was assessed by turbidimetry method and fundus was examined for grading of hypertensive retinopathy Result: Microalbuminuria was found to be present in 36 % patients of whom 65 % were males and 35% were females. Hypertensive retinopathy was observed in 66.7 % (24) patients, out of which 36 % patients had associated microalbuminuria. (p=0.001871) Conclusion: Investigation must be initiated for evidence of early renal disease in hypertensive patients to prevent MA and the resultant end organ damage. Furthermore, MA had a signicant correlation with retinopathy therefore fundus examination should be undertaken to predict the presence of ongoing vascular damage which can prevent atherosclerotic processes in the entire vascular system

Common Risk Factors

Objective: Hypertension is one of the common risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases/disorders A developing country like India faces the double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases; of the which, hypertension is the most important treatable cause of mortality and morbidity with loss of functional capacity and decline in the quality of life. Aim: To study the prevalence of end organ damage in the hypertensive geriatric age group. Method: The present study was a cross sectional study, conducted in 150 elderly patients admitted in MGM Hospital, Navi Mumbai, India with the diagnosis of stage I or II hypertension from 2011 to 2013. Results: Data analysis of the present study showed that 68% of elderly population aged between 60 to 69 years were suffering from hypertension. Compared to males, females had a higher rate of target organ damage. This study found that out of all patients with total end organ damage, 54.6 % had CVS complications, 15.7 % had hypertensive retinopathy, 25.9 % and 18.51 had raised creatinine and proteinuria respectively. 19.4 % had cerebrovascular accident (CVA) complications. Among Cardiovascular related complications Coronary artery disease (CAD) was found in 21 patients, out of them 7 had Congestive cardiac Failure (CCF). Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) was the most common complication and seen in 38 patients. 13.8 % patients had Regional Wall Motion Abnormality (RWMA) Conclusion: The present study concluded that Isolated Systolic Hypertension (ISH) is the commonest type of hypertension in geriatric age group. This study concluded that the most common risk factors of HTN in the elderly are sedentary life style, dyslipidemia and extra salt intake while the most common end organ damage was observed to be Left Ventricular Hypertrophy followed by renal dysfunction.

BACKGROUND- Psoriasis is chronic common papulosquamous disorder. Its aetiology included various environmental and genetic factors. In genetics, HLA-Cw6 is most commonly associated with psoriasis. Childhood psoriasis is also common in worldwide population. However, very few studies done on epidemiological data and HLA-Cw6 analysis in childhood psoriasis patients. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE- Clinicoepidemiological study of childhood psoriasis patients and its association with HLA-Cw6 in a tertiary care centre of Eastern India MATERIALAND METHOD- We conducted a cross-sectional study in a tertiary care centre and recruited 20 patients of psoriasis with age group below 18 years after taking proper consent. Clinical history and blood was taken from them and HLA-Cw6 analysis was done by PCR method. Data compilation was done by Microsoft excel using SPSS software. RESULTS- A total of the 20 childhood psoriasis patients, 9 were males and 11 were females. Generalized plaque type psoriasis (N=19) is commonest followed by guttate psoriasis (N=1). None of the patients had arthalgia. Family history was present in only 3 patients. Higher numbers of childhood psoriasis patients (N=14) were positive for HLA-Cw6. Also Higher numbers of females (N=10) were positive for HLA-Cw6. ve patients had nail changes. CONCLUSION- We found HLA-Cw6 is strongly associated with childhood psoriasis and also HLA-Cw6 frequency is higher in female than male childhood psoriasis patients.

Introduction: Abnormalities in serum lipid and lipoprotein levels are recognized as major modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and essential hypertension and retinopathy. So this study was conducted to evaluate the role of dyslipidemia on development of retinopathy in hypertensive patients and to establish the association of parameters of serum lipid profile with hypertensive retinopathy. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Ophthalmology Department among 135 patients in Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital (NoMCTH), Biratnagar who were diagnosed with essential hypertension. Patients having diabetes mellitus, myopia, hazy ocular media and other posterior segment disorders were excluded from the study. The detailed ophthalmic examination was carried out in department of ophthalmology, NoMCTH, Biratnagar and all the study population were investigated for fasting serum lipid profile. Result: Out of 135 patients with essential hypertension, 65.44% had retinopathy and remaining had no signs of retinopathy. Mean age of patients were 60.24 (±15.14) years. Although no gender preponderance was found with retinopathy but this study showed that hypertensive retinopathy increases significantly with increase in age and its incidence increases after the age of 60 years. Conclusion: The duration of hypertension was found to be strongly associated with development of hypertensive retinopathy. The increase in all the lipid profile parameters (Serum TG, TC, and LDL and LDL:HDL) and the obesity were found to be strongly associated with retinopathy in hypertensive patients.
