BP measurements (moderate and severe hypertension, systolic pressure (SBP), diastolic pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels) and biochemical indicators (uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein and WBC) were higher at the onset of RPLS than post-onset of RPLS (P<0.001), whereas normal BP and serum albumin levels were lower (P<0.001).
Furthermore, compared with the control group, mean serum albumin (Alb) and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in the PRES group were significantly lower (Alb: 29.1±5.3 g/l vs. 34.6±6.1 g/l, P=0.001; Hb: 74±16 g/l vs. 89±28 g/l, P=0.037).
