Abstract
Background: The present study was conducted for evaluating Mannose Binding Lectin levels in hypertensive patients. Materials & Methods: The study included 100 hypertension cases and 100 controls who met the inclusion requirements. All subjects had 5 mL of blood drawn into serum tubes after an overnight fast. After letting the blood clot for 15 minutes at 3000 RPM, the serum was centrifuged out. For the mannose binding lectin test, 0.5 mL of serum had to be stored at - 20°C. ELISA technique was used for evaluating the serum mannose binding lectin levels. All the results were recorded on a Microsoft excel sheet followed by statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results: The mean Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL) in Cases was more (912.56 ± 43.51) as compared to Controls (612.18 ± 21.43) shows statistically significant. (By Un-paired T test; p>0.05). The above table shows the association of type (NYHA) of hypertension and MBL among cases. The mean MBL in Stage II was more (968.39 ± 46.41) as compared to Stage I (856.13 ± 40.56) shows statistically significant. (By Un- paired T test; p>0.05) Conclusion: The present study concludes that, high MBL levels are associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease and are high in the serum prior to the development of hypertensive symptoms.
