Serum Uric Acid Is Related to Metabolic pisturbance and Associated to Serum Aldosterone in Essential Hypertension

摘要

The role of uric acid as an established cardiovascular (CV) risk factor is far from clear. In this study, association between serum uric acid (SUA) and blood pressure (BP) values and between SUA and other CV risk factors in the early phase of essential hypertension were analysed. There were no correlation between SUA and BP values. We failed to found relation between SUA and BP while, in contrary, we did find the Correlation with body mass index, cholesterol, triglycerides and homo-cysteine levels showing that SUA docs not increase CV risk influencing BP but it is probably a marker of metabolic disturbance. Another interesting finding of ours was a significant correlation between SUA and SA.
