Kronik venöz yetmezlik patofizyolojisinde yüksek serum Endokan seviyeleri yer alır

Amaç: Kronik venöz yetmezlik (KVY), kardiyovasküler sistemin yüksek tanı ve tedavi maliyetleri ile hastaların yaşam kalitesi üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olan, yaygın fakat ihmal edilmiş bir patolojisidir. Endokan bir dermatan sülfat proteoglikandır ve aktif damar endoteli tarafından salgılanır. Yüksek Endokan seviyeleri ile KVY patofizyolojisi arasında ilişkili olabileceğini varsaydık. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada serum Endokan düzeyleri ile KVY arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kronik venöz yetmezliği olan kırk dört hasta ile yaş ve cinsiyet uyumlu 50 olgu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların başlangıç klinik özellikleri kaydedildi ve serum Endokan düzeyleri hesaplandı. Bulgular: Ortalama Endokan düzeyi ile ortalama trigliserit (TG) düzeyi, KVY (+) grubunda KVY (-) grubuna göre anlamlı olarak yüksekti (sırasıyla p

Higher serum Endocan levels are involved in the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency

Aim: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common but neglected pathology of the cardiovascularsystem with high diagnosis and treatment costs and negative effects on patients' quality of life.Endocan is a dermatan sulfate proteoglycan and secreted by activated vascular endothelium. Wehypothesized that higher Endocan levels may be associated with the pathophysiology of CVI. Thus, inthe current study, we aimed to assess the relationship between serum Endocan levels and CVI.Materials and Methods: Forty-four patients with CVI and 50 age- and gender- matched subjects wereenrolled into the study. The baseline clinical characteristics of the patients were obtained and serumEndocan levels were calculated.Results: The mean Endocan level and mean triglyceride (TG) level were significantly higher in theCVI (+) group compared to the CVI (-) group (p
