Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the association of serum anti-lysosomal-associated membrane protein-2 (anti-LAMP-2) antibody with vasculitis combined with hypertension (VAS-HTN). A total of 51 VAS-HTN patients, 46 essential hypertension (EH) patients, and 46 healthy controls (HC) were included in the study. Serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody levels are increased in VAS-HTN patients as compared with EH and HC (all P < 0.05). Serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody levels were significantly higher in active stage patients than those in non-active stage patients and HC (all P < 0.05). The correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody levels and the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) (all P < 0.05). Among the subsets of VAS-HTN, the levels of serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody were remarkably higher in all VAS-HTN subsets compared with HC (all P < 0.05). More interestingly, the levels of serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody were remarkably increased in polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) patients compared with ANCA-associated vasculitis and Takayasu arteritis patients (all P < 0.05). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody levels and BAVS and Hs-CRP in PAN patients (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the anti-LAMP-2 antibody was independently associated with VAS-HTN. The levels of serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody were remarkably increased in VAS-HTN patients compared to EH and HC and might reflect the disease activity. The anti-LAMP-2 antibody may be a potential biomarker for diagnosis and estimating the disease activity in VAS-HTN.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Hypertension is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that provides a forum for clinicians and basic scientists interested in blood pressure regulation and pathophysiology, as well as treatment and prevention of hypertension. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies on the etiology and risk factors of hypertension, with a special focus on vascular biology, epidemiology, pediatric hypertension, and hypertensive nephropathy.
