CRP and hypertensive disorder: Subsequently, Sesso et al. [7], after following 20,525 normotensive women for an average of 7–8 years, observed a total of 5365 hypertensive patients, and baseline CRP concentrations were higher in these populations than in non-hypertensive populations, and even after adjusting for multiple risk factors, baseline CRP was still independently associated with hypertensive events, thus proposing CRP as an independent predictor of hypertension [8, 9].
