TO ESTIMATE SERUM URIC ACID IN ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSIVE MEN AT INDEX MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL & RESEARCH CENTRE, INDORE

Background:

Hypertension is a major health burden and leading cause of death in the world. Although it is common in economically developed countries, than in developing countries, it is a greater population burden in the latter because of much larger population. Lower socio economics group have higher rate of hypertension, due to ineffective treatment.

Hypertriglyceridemia, raised LDL and raised VLDL are seen in Essential hypertensive. HDL is less in Essential hypertensive. Hyperuricemia is seen in essential hypertensive. Both dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia increase as age increase in essential hypertensive. In normotensives, few have hypertriglyceridemia. Though hypertriglyceridemia with increase as age increase, it is not associated hyperuricemia. This concludes that dyslipidemia is correlated to hyperuricemia as essential hypertensive in essential hypertensive and not in normotensives.
