Serum uric acid is associated with microalbuminuria in prehypertension.
Serum uric acid is associated with cardiovascular disease. However, the independent role of uric acid in the development of cardiovascular disease is uncertain. This study examined the cross-sectional association of serum uric acid level with microalbuminuria among 6771 subjects without diabetes or hypertension. Blood pressure was categorized as prehypertension (systolic blood pressure, 120 to ...

متن کاملUric acid: a clinically useful marker to distinguish preeclampsia from gestational hypertension.
During early pregnancy, serum uric acid levels fall, often to 3 mg/dL, related to the uricosuric effects from estrogen and from the increase in renal blood flow. Uric acid levels then increase during the third trimester, reaching levels of 4 to 5 mg/dL by term (reviewed in Reference 1). However, it is known that subjects destined to develop preeclampsia show slightly higher serum uric acid leve...
متن کاملThe Role of Uric Acid in Hypertension of Adolescents, Prehypertension and Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism. Metabolic disorders of uric acid are associated with many disease states. Substantial evidence suggests the possible role of uric acid as a mediator of high blood pressure. Elevated uric acid is closely associated with new onset essential hypertension in adolescents and prehypertension; and urate-lowering agents can significantly improve these ...
متن کاملProgression from prehypertension to hypertension and risk of cardiovascular disease
BACKGROUND Subjects with prehypertension (pre-HT; 120/80 to 139/89 mm Hg) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, whether the risk of pre-HT can be seen at the pre-HT status or only after progression to a hypertensive (HT; ≥140/90 mm Hg) state during the follow-up period is unknown. METHODS The Jichi Medical Cohort study enrolled 12,490 subjects recruited from a Japan...
