CD38+ T-Cell Count Is an Immunologic Phenotype Associated With Blood Pressure.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: T lymphocytes play a crucial role in the development of hypertension and associated end-organ damage. CD38 is a well-established surface marker for T-cell activation. However, clinical evidence linking CD38+ T cells, or other specific T-cell subsets, with blood pressure (BP) changes remains limited. We therefore sought to determine whether CD38+ T-cell abundance correlates with BP and whether...
