中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白和生长分化因子15在高血压肾损伤中的诊断价值

Diagnostic value of serum NGAL and GDF-15 levels for hypertension-induced renal injury in elderly patients

目的探讨血清中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白(NGAL)、生长分化因子15(GDF-15)联合检测在老年H型高血压患者肾损伤中的诊断价值。方法选取2021年4月至2022年6月承德医学院附属医院神经内科及全科医疗科收治的H型高血压患者177例,依据估算肾小球滤过率分为肾功能损伤组81例和肾功能正常组96例。收集2组患者一般资料、实验室检查指标,受试者工作特征曲线(ROC)分析血清NGAL、GDF-15联合检测对老年H型高血压患者肾损伤的诊断价值,Pearson相关性分析血清NGAL、GDF-15水平与老年H型高血压患者肾损伤的相关性。结果肾功能损伤组收缩压水平高于肾功能正常组[(148.53±14.62)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)vs(138.75±13.36)mm Hg,P<0.01],2组舒张压比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);肾功能损伤组肌酐、尿素、β_2微球蛋白(β_2-MG)、胱抑素C(Cys C)、尿微量白蛋白(MA)、NGAL及GDF-15水平高于肾功能正常组(P<0.01);ROC曲线分析显示,NGAL、GDF-15联合检测显著高于NGAL、GDF-15单独检测(P<0.01)。Pearson相关性分析显示,血清NGAL、GDF-15水平与肌酐、尿素、β_2-MG、Cys C、MA水平均呈正相关(P<0.01)。结论老年H型高血压患者出现肾损伤后血清NGAL、GDF-15水平升高,血清NGAL、GDF-15联合检测在老年H型高血压患者肾损伤诊断中具有较高的诊断价值。

Objective To investigate the value of combined serum levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL)and growth differentiation factor 15(GDF-15)in diagnosis of renal injury in elderly patients with H-type hypertension.Methods A total of 177 patients with H-type hypertension admitted to Department of Neurology and Department of General Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from April 2021 to June 2022 were enrolled,and based on their estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),they were divided into the renal impairment group(81 cases)and normal renal function group(96 cases).General data and laboratory indicators were collected in the two groups.ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of combined NGAL and GDF-15 levels for renal injury in the elderly patients with H-type hypertension,and Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between serum NGAL and GDF-15 levels and renal injury in the patients.Results SBP level was significantly higher in the renal impairment group than the normal renal function group[148.53±14.62 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)vs 138.75±13.36 mm Hg,P<0.01],but no such difference was observed in DBP level between the two groups(P>0.05).The levels of creatinine(Cr),urea nitrogen(BUN),β_2-microglobulin(β_2-MG),cystatin C(Cys C),urinary microalbumin(MA),NGAL and GDF-15 levels were obviously higher in the renal impairment group than the group with normal renal function(P<0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that the combined detection of NGAL and GDF-15 levels was significantly higher than that of the two indicators alone(P<0.01).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that serum NGAL and GDF-15 levels were positively correlated with Cr,BUN,β_2-MG,Cys C and MA levels(P<0.01).Conclusion Serum NGAL and GDF-15 levels are elevated in elderly H-type hypertension patients.Combined detection of the two indicators has higher value in the diagnosis of renal injury in elderly H-type hypertension patients.
