Study of lipid profile, serum magnesium and blood glucose in hypertension

N Lakshmana Kumar, J Deepthi, Y N Rao, M Kiran Deedi

An attempt was made to study the role of lipid profile serum Mg+2, and blood glucose in hypertension individuals. Moreover, all the parameters are analyzed biochemically. In about 80 samples (50cases and 30 controls) and it is observed that dyslipidemia is seen in Hypertensive individuals with no change in HDL concentration. There is no correlation of serum magnesium in hypertensive cases with controls. It has been observed that serum magnesium of hypertensive cases is slightly higher than that of normal individuals. Fasting blood glucose of hypertensive cases (101.62mg/dl ±33.78) is higher than that of Controls (82.46 mg/dl±10.8). This increase is statistically significant (p<0.001). But this increase may be due to the presence 12% diabetic cases present in the cases. Even then, there is a tendency of developing impaired glucose tolerance in hypertensive subjects. The blood pressure is noted separately as systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressures. The systolic blood pressure was more significant than the diastolic blood pressure with increasing age groups.
