| Insulin resistance (IR) contributes to the development of hypertension and mediated organ damage (HMOD) through various mechanisms. The objective of the study was to assess the diagnostic performance of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a surrogate marker of IR, in predicting the presence and severity of HMOD in newly diagnosed untreated hypertensive patients from an academic training and research hospital The study included 438 patients with newly diagnosed, untreated hypertension. The control group comprised normotensive individuals matched on a 1:1 ratio based on age, gender, body mass index, and smoking using the nearest neighbor method. The presence of HMOD was defined by renal damage (microalbuminuria > 30 mg/day or proteinuria > 150 mg/day), vascular damage (carotid intima-media thickness > 0.9 mm or presence of plaque), or cardiac damage (left ventricular mass index > 95 g/m2 in women and > 115 g/m2 in men). The severity of HMOD was considered as single-, two-, or triple-organ damage. TyG index values were higher in the hypertensive group than the normotensive group. An increased TyG index was independently associated with HMOD (OR: 1.33, p < 0.001). The TyG index exhibited gradually increasing threshold values for distinguishing patients with single-organ HMOD (> 8.8 with 77.8% sensitivity and 74.3% specificity), two-organ HMOD (> 9.1 with 77.6% sensitivity and 71.4% specificity), and triple-organ HMOD (> 9.4 with 71.5% sensitivity and 87.7% specificity). In newly diagnosed hypertensive patients, the TyG index exhibits significant diagnostic performance in predicting multiple-organ damage beyond the presence of HMOD. Since the detection of multiple-organ HMOD requires a multidisciplinary approach, the TyG index can serve as a simple and inexpensive screening tool. |
