[Immunological parameters in subjects with essential arterial hypertension. II. Serological observations].

Abstract

M, G, and A immunoglobulins as well as C3 and C4 complement fractions were determined in 20 patients with essential hypertension: all the values were in the normal range. Nearly half of the patients had an abnormally high value of circulating immune complexes as determined with Clq binding assay and/or with CIC test. The rise of circulating immune complexes is not related to the stage of arterial hypertension.
