When cardiovascular risk (CV) was stratified, 09 patients presented a low risk, 13 patients at intermediate risk, 37 patients with high risk, and 02 patients showed a very high risk in the sample studied. When calculating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the studied sample, 55.73% (34 patients) had an expected result. In contrast, the others, 44.26% (27 patients), presented an altered result when comparing the parameters age, creatinine, sex, and ethnicity, by the CPK-EPI equation (9, 14) . Grams by deciliter (g/ dL); percentage (%); milligrams by deciliter (mg/ dL); interleukin 6 (IL-6); picogram by milliliters (pg /mL); nanograms by milliliters (ng/mL); C reactive protein (PCR); milligrams by liter (mg/L). Figure 1: Box diagram for inflammatory marker variables Table 3 shows the variables that presented correlation when analyzed among themselves. The relationship between age and glucose was direct (p = 0.008), while eGFR was inverse (p < 0.001). Waist circumference is directly related to both BMI (p < 0.001) and CRP (p = 0.019), so BMI and CRP are also directly related (p = 0.001). An inverse relationship was found between IL-6 and GFR (p = 0.027), a direct relationship with CRP (p = 0.009), and a direct relationship between Glucose and Ferritin (p = 0.020). 32 Year 2023 Global Journal of Medical Research Volume XXIII Issue II Version I ( D ) F © 2023 Global Journals Inflammatory Markers and Risk Factors in Hypertensive Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study
