Circulating inflammatory markers and ex vivo cytokine production in primary aldosteronism (PA).

A, No differences between PA patients (n = 15) and essential hypertension controls (n = 15) were observed in circulating parameters of inflammation (hsCRP, IL-6, IL-18, MCP-1), plaque instability (MMP2), and endothelial dysfunction (e-selectin, VCAM, MCP-1). Ex vivo PBMCs cytokine production was comparable for B, proinflammatory, and C, anti-inflammatory, monocyte-derived cytokines after 24 hours. D, There were no differences in lymphocyte-derived cytokines.
