ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Prior studies have identified an association between hypertension and hyperuricemia; however, there has been limited research on the association between hypertension severity and hyperuricemia.METHOD:
We studied 997 Black and white adults with serum urate data from the reasons for geographic and racial differences in stroke (REGARDS) study. Hypertension was defined as SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg or self-reported use of antihypertensive medication. Apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (aTRH) was defined as a SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg with concurrent use of three classes of antihypertensive medications, or taking four or more classes of antihypertensive medication regardless of BP level. Controlled BP was defined as SBP <140 mmHg and DBP <90 mmHg.RESULTS:
Overall 5.9% of participants had aTRH and 36.6% had hyperuricemia, defined as serum urate >7.0 mg/dl for men and >6.0 mg/dl for women. After full multivariable adjustment, the odds ratio (OR) for hyperuricemia associated with hypertension was 1.60 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.06-2.40]. Compared to participants not taking antihypertensive medication, the ORs for hyperuricemia for participants taking one, two and three classes of antihypertensive medication without aTRH were 1.98 (95% CI 1.23-3.20), 2.08 (95% CI 1.25-3.43), 4.31 (95% CI 2.07-8.97), respectively, and 3.96 (95% CI 1.75-8.96) for aTRH. Compared to participants without hypertension, the odds ratios for hyperuricemia were 1.67 (95% CI 1.08-2.58) and 1.46 (95% CI 0.88-2.44) among those with hypertension with and without controlled BP, respectively. Diuretic use was associated with a higher odds of hyperuricemia.CONCLUSION:
This study suggests that individuals taking more classes of antihypertensive medication may benefit from monitoring for hyperuricemia.
