简要总结
Serum uric acid serves as a prognostic marker in the pathogenesis of hypertension. It serves as a prognostic marker in the complications of essential hypertension like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.By measuring serum uric acid in essential hypertensives and comparing it with normotensive subjects,a association between essential hypertension and serum uric acid can be established.Essential hypertension has many modifiable risk factors but there is a need to identify additonal risk factors like serum uiric acid to prevent complications and pathogenesis of essential hypertension. My study hopes to find this association between essential hypertension and serum uric acid levels.
