Relationships of Thickness of Perirenal Fat with Urinary Levels of MCP-1 and NGAL in Patients with Hypertension
We conducted a study to determine the relationships between perirenal fat (PRF) thickness and urinary levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients with hypertension (HTN). In 338 HTN patients (aged 63.51±12.3 on average), MCP-...

Zusammenfassung: | We conducted a study to determine the relationships between perirenal fat (PRF) thickness and urinary levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients with hypertension (HTN).
In 338 HTN patients (aged 63.51±12.3 on average), MCP-1 and NGAL levels were studied using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). To measure PRF thickness, all patients underwent CT scans.
We considered PRF thickness ≥1.91 cm as the diagnostic threshold for perirenal obesity. Patients with excessive PRF thickness exhibited significantly lower levels of MCP-1 and NGAL compared with those with PRF thickness ≥1.91 cm: 0.98 pg/mL (interquartile range, 0.21 to 2.05) vs. 2.35 pg/mL (0.37 to 5.22) for MCP-1 and 50.0 pg/mL (48.9 to 67.8) vs. 98.3 pg/mL (68.4 to 187.1) for NGAL. We found a relationship of PRF thickness with both MCP-1 (r=0.46, |
