Brief Summary:
Assessment of the influence of different antihypertensive drugs on serum uric acid in newly diagnosed hypertension patients.
Detailed Description:
Hypertension is the most common condition seen in primary care and leads to myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, and death if not detected early and treated appropriately.
Thiazide-type diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and some of angiotensin-II receptor blockers (ARB) were reported to reduce renal excretion of urate and increased serum uric acid levels, Beta-blockers also elevate serum uric acid levels.
Hyperuricemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Hyperuricemia was found to correlate with hypertension excluding the influence of other factors such as age and renal function. Furthermore, many studies found that hyperuricemia was independently associated with cardiovascular events in patients treated with antihypertensive drugs.
It is important to control serum uric acid levels in hypertensive patients treated with antihypertensive drugs in order to reduce the risk of gout and cardiovascular events. There is a gap in knowledge in studies showing the effect of antihypertensive drugs on serum uric acid in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients.
