Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To determine rates of hyperhomocysteinemia, some factors related to hyperhomocysteinemia in patients with primary hypertension. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 105 patients with primary hypertension in Can Tho Medicine – Pharmacy University hospital from June 2017 to June 2018. Results: Mean homocysteinemia levels were 16.24± 4.49μmol/L. 78 patients had elevated blood homocysteine ≥15μmol/L, accounting for 74.3%. Homocysteine levels increase with age and blood pressure. Older, gender, hypertension, diabetes, and family history of early cardiovascular disease were associated with hyperhomocysteinemia. Conclusion: Hyperhomocysteinemia is a common problem in patients with primary hypertension.
