Objective To explore the application value of serum cystatin C（SCys-C）,homocysteine（Hcy） and urinary microalbumin（UmAlb）in early assessment of renal damage in hypertensive patients．Methods A total of 150 hypertensive patients admitted to the Third People’s Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2022 to September 2023 were selected as the observation group,and 150 healthy individuals were selected as the control group．Glomerular filtration rate（GFR）,serum cystatin C（SCys-C）,homocysteine（Hcy）,and UmAlb were measured,and the levels of various indicators in different blood pressure levels and the control group were compared．The positive rate and diagnostic accuracy of each indicator in the observation group were compared,and the degree of renal damage was evaluated based on GFR values．The levels of SCys-C,Hcy and UmAlb in patients with different degrees of renal damage were compared．Results The levels of SCys-C,Hcy and UmAlb in patients with grade 2 and grade 3 hypertension were significantly higher than those in patients with grade 1 hypertension（t=5.255,10.976,21.578,P<0.05;t=7.378,18.012,23.708,P<0.05）,as well as in the control group（t=8.308,19.675,31.891,P<0.05;t=10.661,31.511,21.578,P<0.05）,patients with grade 3 hypertension were significantly higher than those with grade 2 hypertension（t=2.776,12.725,7.779,P<0.05）．The positive rates of SCys-C,Hcy and UmAlb in patients with renal injury in the observation group were 79.41%,73.53% and 83.82%,which were significantly higher than the positive rates of 6.10%,4.88% and 6.10% in patients without renal injury（χ²=83.733,76.040,92.613,P<0.05）．The levels of SCys-C,Hcy and UmAlb in patients with severe and mild kidney damage in the observation group were significantly higher than those in patients without damage（t=7.567,24.214,30.836,P<0.05;t=5.783,16.054,25.164,P<0.05）,patients with moderate to severe kidney damage were significantly higher than those with mild kidney damage（t=2.685,7.179,9.561,P<0.05）．Conclusions The higher the grading of hypertension,the higher the levels of SCys-C,Hcy and UmAlb in patients,and the higher the positive rate of combined detection of various indicators．Moreover,the higher the levels of SCys-C,Hcy and UmAlb,the more severe the renal damage．
