Evaluation of Serum Uric Acid in Hypertension
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Objective: We carried out a study in Sri Venkateswara medical college, Tirupati during a period of 12 months to examine the relationship between serum uric acid and hypertension. Methodology: A total of 150 patients were studied of which 75 were cases and 75 as controls. The patients were included if they satisfy the JNC VII criteria for hypertension 2. Results: The study showed that serum uric acid levels were raised in patients with hypertension in comparison to normotensives. The Mean Serum Uricacid levels between hypertensives and normotensives were 7.02± 1.12 and 4.86± 0.68 respectively. p - value = 0.001 which is shown to be significant.Our study showed significant rise in serum uric acid in hypertensives. www.jmscr.igmpublication.org Impact Factor 3.79 ISSN (e)-2347-176x B.

Hyperuricaemia may represent the culmination a multimetabolic syndrome in which insulin-mediated renal haemodynamic abnormalities lead to hypertensive renal damage. Hyperuricemia is observed in hypertension may be due to a decrease in the renal blood flow and early nephrosclerosis.
