Abstract

The research aim is to study the associations of changes in the content of hemoglobin complexes by the Raman spectroscopy with electrical and viscoelastic parameters of erythrocytes (using the dielectrophoresis method) among patients with arterial hypertension (AH) (including resistant AH), to evaluate the possibility of using these parameters for diagnostic purposes. Fifty males (54 ± 6 years) with stage 2 of AH have been examined, 24 of them have showed resistant AH. We have determined a significant decrease in the level of hemoglobin-ligand complexes, Hb-NO (II) complexes in patients with resistant AH compared to those among patients with controlled AH and among healthy patients (p < 0.001 – 0.05). We have found correlations between intensities of the most important signals of hemoglobin Raman spectra (1325, 1350, 1550, 1580, 1660, 1668 cm–1) and electric and viscoelastic parameters of erythrocytes (amplitude of erythrocytes deformation, summarized indicators of viscosity and rigidity, the magnitude of the dipole moment, polarizability at the frequency 106 Hz, electrical conductivity, index of destruction), the intensity of which had been the biggest one for resistant AH. It has been shown that the combined use of two methods (Raman spectroscopy of hemoglobin and electrical and the studies of erythrocytes by the dielectrophoresis method) allowed to increase the diagnostic accuracy to detect the resistant arterial hypertension up to 88%, sensitivity up to 84.6%, specificity up to 91.7% compared to the data of the combined clinical and instrumental methods of research. The capability of this combination approach exceeds the capabilities of the methods separately.
