Objectives:
To determine the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HU) in patients with hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Indian setting.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing screening for HU in health clinics across India between April to May 2017 was carried out. Data regarding demographics, history of T2DM and HTN and uric acid levels (easy touch uric acid monitoring system) were recorded during the program.
Results:
Data from 3044 screening programs was analysed. The mean age of the study population was 47.9 years; about two-thirds of the subjects were males. Of the 29391 subjects screened, 25.8% were found to have HU. The proportion of diabetics, hypertensives and diabetic hypertensives who had HU was 33.6%, 35.1%, and 34.4% respectively. A trend towards increased prevalence of HU was seen with increasing age and increased duration of diseases like HTN and diabetes.
Conclusion:
High prevalence of HU was observed in T2DM and HTN and in patients with both co-morbidities. Age-wise analysis revealed an increasing trend of HU with age. Further, the prevalence of HU also increased with increasing duration of T2DM and HTN.
