[Excretion of beta-2-microglobulin in hypertension].
The study aimed at evaluating an excretion of beta 2-microglobulin with the urine of hypertensive patients. Thirty patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension (diastolic blood pressure 14.26 +/- 0.86 kPa) and 13 patients with severe hypertension (diastolic blood pressure 17.8 +/- 1.7 kPa) were included into the studies. Significantly increased beta 2-microglobulin excretion with the urine was noted in both groups with the highest values in patients with severe blood hypertension. Moreover, significant correlation between tubular reabsorption of beta 2-microglobulin and diastolic blood pressure was noted in both groups. Increased excretion of beta 2-microglobulin in the arterial hypertension may be due to an increased glomerular filtration of this protein and/or decreased reabsorption in proximal tubule.
