Dr. P. Rajendra, Dr. Arunakonda Ravikumar

Abstract :

 BACKGROUND: It Is Known That Elevation Of Uricacid Levels In Hypertensive Individuals.To Know The Relationship Between Stages Of Hypertension And The Levels Of Uricacid And The Effect Of Treatment On Uricacid Levels This Study Has Been Conducted. AIMS: 1.To Estimate The Levels Of Uricacid In Essential Hypertension. 2.To Correlate The Levels Of Uricacid With Severity Of Hypertension In Newly Detected Hypertensives. 3.To Compare The Levels Of Uricacid In Hypertensives With That Of Non Hypertensives. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Age And Sex Matched Prospective Case Control Study For A Period Of Two Years. Total Of 142 Patients 80 Were Cases And 62 Are Controls. Their Hypertension Is Graded And The Serum Uricacid Levels Are Measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: 1.Serum Uricacid Is Significantly Elevated In Hypertensives As Compared To Normotensives. 2.Serum Uricacid Can Be Used Probably As An Early Biochemical Marker To Determine The Severity Of Hypertension. 3.The Uric Acid Levels Did Not Differ Significantly Between Hypertensives With Or Without Treatment.
