    Hypertension affects 18% of untreated gout patients, a lower rate than expected. Hypertensive gout patients showed higher body weight and reduced glomerular filtration rate compared to controls.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Rheumatology
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Gout is a common condition associated with metabolic disturbances.
    • Hypertension is a known comorbidity in patients with gout.
    • Previous studies suggested a higher prevalence of hypertension in gout patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of hypertension in untreated gout patients.
    • To compare clinical characteristics and renal function between hypertensive and normotensive gout patients, and normouricemic controls.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional study comparing three groups: untreated hypertensive gout patients, normotensive gout patients, and normouricemic patients.
    • Assessment of clinical characteristics, including body weight.
    • Evaluation of renal function, including glomerular filtration rate.

    Main Results:

    • Hypertension was identified in 18% of 65 untreated gout patients.
    • Hypertensive gout patients exhibited significantly greater body weight compared to control groups.
    • A significantly lower glomerular filtration rate was observed in hypertensive gout patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The prevalence of hypertension in this cohort of untreated gout patients was 18%.
    • Hypertension in gout patients is associated with increased body weight and impaired renal function (reduced GFR).
    • The complex interplay of factors makes a simple causal relationship between gout, hypertension, and renal impairment unlikely.
