RELATIONSHIPS OF SERUM URIC ACID WITH PLASMA RENIN ACTIVITY AND PLASMA ALDOSTERONE IN PRIMARY HYPERTENSION.

2013

Introduction: In experimental studies conducted in rats, raising serum uric acid (SUA) levels resulted in stimulation of renin expression. Studies in humans exploring the association of SUA with plasma renin activity (PRA) yielded conflicting results. Moreover, little is known about the relationship between plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and SUA. Aim: To analyse the relationships between SUA, PRA and PAC in a group of subjects with primary hypertension. Methods: We enrolled 372 patients (mean age 45 ± 12 years; women 33 %), with untreated primary hypertension, with normal renal function and without cardiovascular complications. Results: Spearman’s rank-correlation analyses showed th…
