Objective: Little is known about the pathogenesis of essential hypertension (HT) despite the research conducted in this field. However, similar to other chronic diseases, an association has been shown between HT and inflammation. Thus, this study aimedto explore the association between an indicator of inflammatory response and mean neutrophil volume (MNV) in newly diagnosedhypertensive patients.
Materials and Methods: The medical records of patients newly diagnosed with HT were retrospectively reviewed. The control groupcomprised healthy persons with normal ambulatory blood pressure records. In accordance with their immersion status, newlydiagnosed hypertensive patients were divided into two groups.
Results: This study included 222 patients: One hundred and forty four patients had HT, and one hundred and eighty-eight werenormotensives. HT patients had significantly higher MNV than normotensive patients [144.1 (range: 136.1-152.1 vs.) 140.3 (range: 135.1-145.5), p=0.001], respectively. There were 51 patients with dipper HT and 53 patients with non-dipper HT in the hypertensivegroup. MNV was significantly higher in the non-dipper HT group [145.7 (range: 138.1-153.46) vs. 142.3 (range: 134.3-150.3), p=0.022], respectively. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that MNV [95% confidence interval (CI): 1,006-1,122, p=0.032] andpulse wave velocity (95% CI: 1,203-2,655, p=0.004) were independently correlated with the non-dipping status in newly diagnosedhypertensive patients.
Conclusion: Patients with newly diagnosed HT had higher MNV. In addition, increased MNV measurements were associatedwithnon-dipper HT.
