From the Research

Relationship Between D-dimer Levels and Plasma Viscosity in Hypertension

  • The relationship between D-dimer levels and plasma viscosity in patients with hypertension is not directly addressed in the provided studies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • However, the studies suggest that D-dimer levels are associated with disease severity and outcome in patients with hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases 1, 3, 4, 5.
  • High D-dimer levels have been linked to hypercoagulability and increased risk of thrombotic complications in patients with hypertension and other conditions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • Plasma viscosity is not directly mentioned in the provided studies, but it is related to blood flow and cardiovascular health.
  • Further research is needed to investigate the relationship between D-dimer levels and plasma viscosity in patients with hypertension.

D-dimer Levels and Hypertension

  • A study found that D-dimer levels were higher in hypertensive patients compared to healthy controls and increased with the severity of hypertension 1.
  • Another study found that high D-dimer levels were associated with increased risk of thrombotic complications in patients with systemic sclerosis, which can be related to hypertension 2.
  • The studies suggest that D-dimer levels may be a useful marker for disease severity and outcome in patients with hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases 1, 3, 4, 5.

Limitations

  • The provided studies do not directly investigate the relationship between D-dimer levels and plasma viscosity in patients with hypertension.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between D-dimer levels, plasma viscosity, and hypertension.
