Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major public health challenge and is the third leading killer in the World. The serum uric acid has shown some prognostic importance in essential hypertension Methodology: Acase control study was undertaken in a tertiary care hospital in Gurugram. Seventy ve cases of hypertension and equal number of controls were studied for the hypertension and serum uric acid levels. Results:This study had shown that, majority of the cases and controls were aged 31 – 40 years and females. The blood pressures were signicantly more in the cases than controls. Serum uric acid levels were also signicantly higher in cases than controls. There was no statistically signicant difference in serum uric acid levels between different stages of hypertension. Conclusion:The serum uric acid levels were signicantly higher in cases of hypertension than controls.
