Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: The etiological factors associated with hypertension is difficult to predict because hypertension results from a complex interaction of genes and environmental factors. Previous researches have already studied the role of serum uric acid in development of hypertension. Serum uric acid (UA) levels were demonstrated to be an independent predictor for developing hypertension. Material and methods: It was a hospital based cross sectional analytical study. 196 cases of hypertension who attended the out-patient and in-patient at the department of Medicine were evaluated for Serum Uric Acid levels. Results: The mean SUA levels in Stage I and Stage II hypertensive patients in Cases Group were 4.99±1.29 and 6.64±1.75 mg/dl respectively. Conclusions: There is definite relation in SUA levels between hypertensive patients and normotensive patients and SUA levels have direct relation to the duration and severity of hypertension.
