Abstract

Background: High blood pressure (HBP) is a public health problem. Its management requires a biological and morphological evaluation, looking for associated abnormalities. The aim of this study was to determine the biological abnormalities in patients with HBP and their relationship with the level of blood pressure (BP). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from May to October 2018 (6 months), in outpatient consulting at the University Hospital of Brazzaville. Were included, patients followed for essential hypertension. Results: One hundred and four patients were included, 57 women (54.8%). The mean age was 54.6±12.7 years. HBP was known in 74 cases (71.2%). The associated risk factors were abdominal obesity (n=52, 50%), family history of cardiovascular disease (n=52, 50%), sedentariness (n=50, 48.1%), dyslipidemia (n= 38, 36.5%), diabetes (n=16, 15.4%), and tobacco use (n=8, 7.7%). Biological abnormalities were hyperuricemia (n=50, 52.6%), anemia (n=43, 40.4%), microalbuminuria (n= 39, 37.5%), hypernatremia (n=34, 32.7%), reduced estimate filtration glomerular rate (eGFR) in 29 cases (27.9%) and hypercholesterolemia (n=21, 20.2%) The metabolic syndrome was found in 25 cases (24%). HBP was severe in 59 cases (56.7%). The relationship between severe HBP listed: altered eGFR (n=13, 22%, OR 0.51, 95%CI 0.21-1.21), albiminuria (n=37, 62.7%, OR 1.75, 95%CI 0.8-3.86), anemia (n=23, 39%, OR 0.79, 95%CI 0.36-1.75). Conclusion: Biological abnormalities are numerous in patients with HBP monitored in Central Africa. Thus, patients are poorly controlled on treatment. Early detection of these abnormalities is necessary to improve patient care.
