title: [Reactive C protein as a marker of inflammation in patients with arterial hypertension].
abstract: The acute arterial hypertension is an entity of unquestionable pronostic value, due to others factors like dislipidemia, and it plays a main role in the origin of the atherosclerotic process; the cytoquines freed during this process increased C-reactive protein levels in blood. We studied a group of hypertense adult in order to determine lipid and C-reactive protein levels in serum as a marker of inflammation. The results shown high levels of lipid in serum in 100 % of the patients, the highest levels of C-reactive protein corresponded with the highest levels of total cholesterol and LDL oxidized, it was suggested as a atherosclerotic disease risk.
