The aim of this study was to examine the possible alteration in the levels of C-reactive protein, protein-bound sialic acid, and other lipid risk factors in newly diagnosed essential hypertensive subjects. In all, 56 hypertensive and 33 normotensive male subjects were enrolled in the study. Lipid profile, C-reactive protein, apolipoprotein-B, and protein-bound sialic acid were estimated in both the groups. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, C-reactive protein, apolipoprotein-B, and protein-bound sialic acid were significantly increased in patients with essential hypertension. Correlation analysis revealed a significant association between the protein-bound sialic acid with mean arterial pressure, C-reactive protein, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. The findings of the present study suggest that in essential hypertension there is an association between protein-bound sialic acid and C-reactive protein, which reflects the clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in these patients.
