Abstract

Objective: Expression of neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin is demonstrated in neutrophils and macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques. Aortic sclerosis and atherosclerosis have similar etiopathogenesis. In our study we aimed to evaluate neutrophil gelatinase‐as‐ sociated lipocalin levels in aortic sclerosis and compare it with the control group. Material and Method: In our study we included 53 consecutive patients with aortic sclerosis and 22 healthy individuals as a control group. Plasma levels of neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin were compared between two groups. Results: The rate of mitral annular calcification (p=0,002) was significantly higher in patients with aortic sclerosis. Plasma neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin levels were found to be significantly higher in aortic sclerosis group as compared to controls (60.95±18.41 ng/mL vs. 74.15±27.77 ng/mL, p=0.049). Neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin levels were also higher in patients with mitral annular calcification (63.04±18.38 vs. 93.33±32.90, p=0.001) compared to patients without. Conclusion: In this study we demonstrated that aortic sclerosis is associated with higher plasma neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin levels. Also mitral annular calcification coexistence is associated with higher neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin levels. This evidence supports that advanced cardiac calcification is associated with elevated plasma neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin levels. Larger studies on patients with cardiac calcification are needed to assess the association between cardiac calcification and plasma neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin levels.

Özet

Amaç: Aterosklerotik plaklarda nötrofil jelatinaz ilişkili lipokalin, nötrofil ve makrofajlar tarafından sentezlenmektedir. Aortik skleroz ve ateroskleroz benzer etyopatogeneze sahiptir. Çalışmada amacımız aortik skleroz hastalarında plazma nötrofil jelatinaz ilişkili lipokalin düzeyini ölçmek ve aynı kardiyovasküler hastalık risk profiline sahip kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya ekokardiyografik olarak aortik skleroz saptanan 53 hasta alındı, 22 sağlıklı bireyden de kontrol grubu oluş‐ turuldu. Ekokardiyografik bulgular ve plazma nötrofil jelatinaz ilişkili lipokalin seviyeleri gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Kontrol grubunda hiçbir hastada saptanmazken aortik skleroz grubundaki hastaların 18’inde mitral anular kalsifikasyon sap‐ tandı (p=0,002). Plazma nötrofil jelatinaz ilişkili lipokalin seviyesi aortik skleroz hasta grubunda kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak da‐ ha yüksek saptandı (60.95±18.41 ng/mL vs. 74.15±27.77 ng/mL, p=0,049). Nötrofil jelatinaz ilişkili lipokalin seviyesi MAK'ı olan hasta‐ larda, olmayanlara kıyasla (63.04±18.38 vs. 93.33±32.90, p=0,001) anlamlı olarak daha yüksek saptandı. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda nötrofil jelatinaz ilişkili lipokalin seviyesinin aortik skleroz hastalarında artmış olduğu gösterildi. Bağımsız bir pa‐ rametre olarak ele alındığında mitral anular kalsifikasyon varlığı da artmış nötrofil jelatinaz ilişkili lipokalin seviyeleri ile ilişkili idi. Çalışmamızın verileri dikkate alındığında artmış kardiyak kalsifikasyon derecesinin, artmış nötrofil jelatinaz ilişkili lipokalin seviyesi ile ilişkili olduğu söylenebilir. Nötrofil jelatinaz ilişkili lipokalinin kardiyak kalsifikasyonda düzeyini araştıran geniş ölçekli çalışmalara ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.
