Core Tip	Compared to patients with hypertension alone, patients with hypertension and depression exhibited higher serum levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and lower levels of stem cell factor (SCF) and c-kit. High ET-1, high IL-6, low SCF, and low c-kit were independent influencing factors for hypertension with depression. The combination of ET-1, IL-6, SCF, and c-kit demonstrated significant diagnostic value for hypertension with depression.
