[Outpatient diagnosis of oxidant stress in patients with carbohydrate metabolism disturbance in metabolic syndrome].

Aim: To compare lipid peroxidation (LPO), (NO)-endothelium system in disorders of glucose tolerance (DGT) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2).

Material And Methods: The trial included 178 patients with DGT and DM2 within MS (WHO, 1999). The control group consisted of 40 healthy subjects free of MS.

[Outpatient follow-up and management of pregnant women with hypertension].

Aim: To study variants of the course of chronic hypertension in pregnant women and determination of factors predisposing to a persistent rise of arterial pressure (AP) in pregnancy.

Material And Methods: A total of 50 pregnant women were examined (heart rhythm variability and psychological testing) who had AP 140/90 mm Hg and higher as shown by measurements at three outpatient check-ups. After delivery the patients were retrospectively devided into two groups.

[Diagnostics of disorders in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in women with hypertension in outpatient clinic].

Aim: To study lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in young and middle-aged women with essential hypertension (EH).

Material And Methods: Anthropometric parameters, arterial pressure (AP), glucose tolerance (GT), fasting glucose, immunoreactive insulin (IRI), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), HDLP cholesterol, atherogenic index were estimated in 93 women aged 20 to 50 years with EH stage II.

Results: TC was elevated in 75%, HDLP cholesterol--in 52%, TG--in 40% patients.
