RELATIONSHIP OF HYPERURACEMIA WITH METABOLIC DISORDERS IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

Abstract

Objective: To study the prevalence of hyperuremia and to study its role in development of metabolic disorders in patients with arterial hypertension (AH). Design and method: The study analyzed 188 case histories of patients with AH grades 1-3 (ESC/ESH, 2018). 109 women and 79 men were studied. Mean age 62.8±10.2 years. Hyperuricemia was established with an increase in the level of uric acid > 7 mg / dl in men, > 5.7 mg / dl in women. Results: Results: For analysis, patients were divided into 2 groups: the first group consisted of patients with hyperuricemia (n = 103), the second - patients with normal levels of uric acid (n = 85). The average level of uric acid in the 1st group was 7.44±1.33 mg/dl, and in the 2nd group - 5.06±0.98 mg/dl, p<0.00001. The compared groups were similar in terms of age, office SBP and DBP. Age: 62.7±10.51 vs 62.8±10.01 years, p = 0.95; SBP - 136.82±22.09 mm Hg. vs 132.98±24.4 mmHg, p = 0.26; DBP - 85.17±10.27 mm Hg. vs 84.27±10.71 mmHg, p = 0.56. The groups also did not differ in BMI and WC: BMI-32.96±5.84 kg/m2 vs 31.24±5.00 kg/m2 p = 0.44; OT-105.44±13.75 cm vs 102.76±12.06 cm, p = 0.16. It should be noted that patients with hyperuricemia had a significantly high level of MAU: 63.24±104.06 vs 39.33±36.42 mg/l, p = 0.044. Patients with hyperuricemia had more pronounced dyslipidemia. Thus, total cholesterol was significantly high in group 1: 198.31±49.41 mg/dl vs 181.75±49.1 mg/dl, p = 0.04, LDL cholesterol 111.83±42.46 mg/dl dl vs 100.56±37.99 mg/dl, p = 0.04. TG and HDL-C did not differ between the groups. TG: 223.39±130.76 vs 189.69±122.18 p = 0.057. HDL-C: 41.92±13.54 mg/dl vs 43.30±12.87 mg/dl, p = 0.48. In the group of patients with hyperuricemia, there was a significantly high level of glucose compared with patients with normal levels of uric acid: 9.71±04.35 mmol/l vs 6.51±3.06 mmol/l, p = 0.0001. The creatinine level was also high in patients with hyperuricemia: 98.45±36.75 μmol/l vs 85.06±17.21 μmol/l, p = 0.003. Conclusions: Hyperuricemia should be considered as an additional cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients. Hyperuricemia is associated with severe dyslipidemia and elevated levels of glycemia and creatinine in hypertensive patients.
