Serum Uric Acid Levels and Renal Damage in Hyperuricemic Hypertensive Patients Treated With Renin–Angiotensin System Blockers

Background A correlation between hyperuricemia and renal target organ damage (TOD) was shown in hypertensive patients, locally mediated by the activation of renin–angiotensin system (RAS). We investigated whether high serum uric acid (UA) levels could negatively affect tubulointerstitial damage in h...
