Relationship between the prognostic nutritional index and resistant hypertension in patients with essential hypertension

Immune system activation plays a role in resistant hypertension (RHTN) pathogenesis. The clinical effect of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) on patients with RHTN remains unclear. The aim of this study investigated the possible correlation between PNI and RHTN. In this cross-sectional study, w...

Description
Summary:Immune system activation plays a role in resistant hypertension (RHTN) pathogenesis. The clinical effect of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) on patients with RHTN remains unclear. The aim of this study investigated the possible correlation between PNI and RHTN. In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 180 adult subjects. In patients were classified into three groups according to their office and ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPM): RHTN (n = 60), controlled hypertension (CHTN, n = 60), and normotension-control (NT-C, n = 60). RHTN was defined as BP ≥140/90 mm Hg while taking ≥3 antihypertensive medications or BP
