Degree of blood pressure control and the risk of new-onset hyperuricemia in treated hypertensive patients

The relationship between blood pressure (BP) control and the risk of new-onset hyperuricemia remains uncertain. We aimed to examine the association between degree of time-averaged on-treatment BP control and new-onset hyperuricemia in general hypertensive patients.A total of 10,617 hypertensive patients with normal uric acid (UA) concentrations (<357 µmol/L) at baseline were included from the UA Sub-study of the China Stroke Primary Prevention...
