Evaluation Of Lipid Profiles And Hematological Parameters In Hypertensive Patients A Cross Sectional Study At Debre Markos Referral Hospital North West Ethiopia

Introduction: Hypertension and dyslipidemia are the two coexisting and synergizing major riskrnfactors for cardiovascular diseases. The cellular constituents of blood affect the volume andrnviscosity of blood, thus playing a key role in regulating blood pressure. Overweight and obesityrnare key determinants of adverse metabolic changes including increase in blood pressure.rnObjective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate lipid profiles and hematologicalrnparameters in hypertensive patients at Debre Markos Referral Hospital, North West Ethiopia.rnMaterials and methods: Hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted in 100 hypertensivernpatients at Debre Markos Referral Hospital. The required amount of blood was withdrawn fromrnthe patients by health care professionals in the hospital for the immediate automated laboratoryrnanalysis of the blood sample. Data were collected on sociodemographic factors, anthropometricrnmeasurements, blood pressure, lipid profiles and hematological parameters.rnResult: The mean serum levels of Triglyceride (TG), Total Cholesterol (TC) and Low DensityrnLipoprotein (LDL) were significantly higher than their respective cut-off values in the hypertensivernpatients. 54%, 52%, 35%, 11% of the hypertensive patients had abnormal LDL, TC, TG and HighrnDensity Lipoprotein (HDL) levels respectively. Higher levels (p
