Objective: To determine the correlation between left ventricular mass index and calcium metabolism in patients with essential hypertension. Study Design: Cross sectional case-control study. Material and Methods: Twenty-seven patients with essential hypertension and 20 healthy individuals were compared with respect to calciotropic hormones, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), and urinary and serum biochemical parameters. The correlations between parathormone, vitamin D, and calcitonin levels and LVMI and blood pressure elevation were determined. Results: The parathormone level was significantly higher (p=0.006) and vitamin D level was significantly lower (p=0.01) in the patient group compared with the control group. However, the two groups were similar in terms of albumin-corrected calcium levels, which were within the normal range (p=0.988). The serum sodium (p=0.014) and urinary calcium (p=0.003) levels and LVMI (p<0.01) were also significantly higher in the patient group. No significant correlations were determined between ambulatory blood pressure and parathormone and vitamin D levels, but a significant correlation was found between LVMI and parathormone level (p=0.06) in hypertensive patients. Conclusion: Essential hypertension alters calcium metabolism, causing calciuresis by hypernatremia. Parathormone release increases to compensate for this, and leads to protein synthesis, which in turn provokes the development of myocardial hypertrophy.

Parathormon, vitamin D, ve calcitonin düzeyleri, LVMI ve kan basıncı arasındaki korelasyonlar incelendi. Bulgular: Hasta grubunda; kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında parathormon düzeyi önemli ölçüde yüksek ( p=0.006) ve vitamin D seviyesi önemli ölçüde düşüktü (p=0.01). Bununla beraber, iki grup albümine göre düzeltilmiş kalsiyum düzeyleri bakımından benzerdi ve bu düzey normal sınırlar içindeydi (p=0.988). Hasta grubunda serum sodyum ( p=0.014) ve üriner kalsiyum (p=0.003) düzeyleri ve LVMI (p<0.001) de önemli ölçüde yüksekti. Hipertansif hastalarda ambulatuvar kan basıncı, parathormon ve vitamin D düzeyleri arasında önemli bir korelasyon saptanmadı fakat LVMI ve parathormon düzeyi (p=0.06) arasında önemli korelasyon bulundu. Sonuç: Esansiyel hipertansiyon hipernatremi nedeniyle kalsiüresise sebep olarak kalsiyum metabolizmasını değiştirir. Parathormon salınımı bunu kompanse etmek için artar ve miyokardiyal hipertrofi gelişmesine yol açan protein sentezine neden olur.
