Abstract

Objective: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a non-invasive technique used to evaluate the arterial elasticity, which is an early indicator of atherosclerosis. Lately, gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) is considered a determiner of arterial stiffness (AS). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between GGT levels and AS with PWV in patients with Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Material and Methods: The study was conducted with 60 patients with FMF and 40 controls. Genetic analysis of the patients were performed. AS was assessed by PWV and, after the measurement of PWV, the presence of AS was determined. Results: Mean PWV values and AS frequency were significantly higher in patients with FMF compared with the control group (p

Özet

Amaç: Nabız dalga hızı (NDH), aterosklerozun erken bir belirteci olan arteriyel elastisiteyi değerlendirmek için kullanılan noninvazif bir tekniktir. Son zamanlarda, gama glutamil transferaz (GGT) bir arteriyel sertlik (AS) belirteci olarak düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Ailevi Akdeniz ateşi (AAA) hastalarında NDH ile GGT seviyeleri ve AS arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Materyal ve Metot: Bu çalışma 60 AAA hastası ve 40 kontrol ile yapıldı. Hastaların genetik analizleri yapıldı. AS, NDH ile değerlendirildi ve NDH ölçümü sonrası AS varlığı belirlendi. Bulgular: Ortalama NDH değerleri ve AS sıklığı AAA hastalarında kontrol grubuna kıyasla anlamlı olarak yüksekti (sırasıyla p
