Abstract :

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most common disease affecting humans throughout the world and is an important public health challenge because of associated morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods: 120 study subjects were selected and were divided into four groups consisting of Obese (n=30), Obese hypertensive patients (n=30), Non obese hypertensive patients (n=30) and Healthy controls (n=30). By using simple random method cross sectional study was done. Results: Serum urea (Mean � SD) was (26 � 3.91), (36.6 � 6.32),(21.2 � 4.16) and(21.5 � 4.51) ,Serum creatinine levels (Mean � SD) was (0.84 � 0.07), (1.11�0.23),(0.70 � 0.07) and (0.7 � 0.05) ,Estimated GFR (Mean � SD) was (140.5�17), (96.2�22.2), (116.1�7.7) and(119.6�6.7) in obese, obese hypertensive patients, non obese hypertensive patients and healthy group respectively. Conclusion: Periodic evaluation of renal function tests can help in detection of early renal damage in obese hypertensive patients.
