Abstract
In a group of 900 hypertensive patients we analyze the prevalence and the treatment response in the sub-group with urolithiasis. The prevalence of urolithiasis was 13,7%, and the prevalence of urolithiasis by hypercalciuria and/or hyperuricosuria was 12.3%. The control level to the treatment in the last sub-group with thiazides and/or allopurinol was 59,5%. The hypertensive patients with this type of urolithiasis and without hypertension control with this treatment were the intolerant patients to thiazides and/or allopurinol (6,3%) and the obese hypertensive patients (34,2%). These data help to explain why the thiazide diuretics have been the antihypertensive drugs that have given better results in the ALLHAT study and they still are continuing in the current recommendations like first line antihypertensive drugs
