[VASPIN LEVELS AND CARBOHYDRATE STATUS IN YOUNG PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION AND OBESITY].

The current pace of growth in body weight and complications in children and patients of the young age is a serious problem. The aim of the work was to determine the vaspin concentration depending on the presence of obesity in patients of the young age with arterial hypertension and the study of its relationship with carbohydrate metabolism. The progression of obesity and hypertension is accompanied by increase of insulin resistance. The increase in the blood concentration of vaspin is observed in patients with hypertension and normal body weight. Increased vaspin concentration occurs before the detected change in insulin levels in blood. This allows an earlier prognosis of hypertension and possible metabolic complications.
