Abstract :

Essential hypertension is becoming increasingly common amongst adult population irrespective of race and community. Dietary habits play a major role in that including diets low in calcium and vitamin D apart from high salt intake. So biochemical parameters play an important role in assessing severity of hypertension and also have got role in assessing co-morbidities associated with hypertension Aims and objectives of the study- The aim of the study is to compare the biochemical parameters between hypertensives and normotensives in patients admitted to Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli (Karnataka) between November 2010 to November 2011 Material and methods-The study has been a prospective study which included 50 cases and 50 controls. With right consent of the patients, blood pressure was measured by mercury sphygmomanometer in the right arm sitting position and biochemical profile was measured using appropriate scientific methods Results- In the study, it was found that serum calcium and vitamin D serum albumin were significantly low amongst hypertensives and they also had high levels of creatinine along with dysglycemia Conclusion- From the study it can be conclude that in hypertensives significant changes can be seen with respect to serum calcium and vitamin D and also creatinine and blood glucose which can be used for early detection of hypertension and its associated complications.
