Abstract
Objectives
- To assess serum uric acid levels in Hypertensive patients.
- To associate changes in serum uric acid with clinical prognosis.
- To study relation between severity of Hypertension to serum uric acid level.
Results: Total of 146 patients were studied with 73 cases and 73 control. Mean serum uric acid levels in cases and control was 6.14 and 4.23 respectively, with a T value of 5.78 in test of siginificance, the P value is <0.00001. The result is statistically significant at p<0.05.
Conclusion: Serum uric acid estimation can be used for aiding in the diagnosis of essential hypertension as well as in assessment of the severity.
