| Popis: | The mechanism underlying a persistent blood pressure elevation and its sequelae on the inflammatory cascades and electrolyte imbalance have not been fully elucidated. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between plasma chloride (Cl), calcium (Ca) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in essential hypertensive subjects in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state, Nigeria. The electrolytes, Ca, and IL-18 were determined using various standard method. Data obtained for BMI, blood pressure, IL-18 and electrolyte levels in treated and untreated essential hypertensive subjects were BMI (Kg/m2) 24.53±3.62; 26.76 ± 2.07; SBP (mmHg) 152.12±10.06; 156.54 ± 4.37; DBP (mmHg) 94.99 ± 4.81; 102.33 ± 6.21; IL-18 (pg/ml); 350.63 ± 82.17; 641.73 ± 69.66; Na (mmol/L); 139.75± 3.23; 150.15 ± 5.09; K (mmol/L) 3.97± 0.27; 3.34±0.31; Ca (mg/dl) 9.34± 0.62; 8.59 ± 0.33; and Cl (mmol/L) 113.62± 1.77; 104.22 ± 2.44 respectively. The BMI, SBP, DBP, IL-18 and Na were significantly higher (p |
