High urate concentration is associated with elevated blood pressure in schoolchildren

Abstract: Background Studies in adults have shown a relationship between high blood pressure and hyperuricemia, but few studies have investigated this association in children and adolescents. The aim of the present study was to associate urate concentration with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in schoolchildren. Methods This cross-sectional study used a sample of 2335 schoolchildren in basic education between 7 and 17 years old. Blood pressure was classified by percentile according to B… Show more

“…We identified urate and nonanoate as key metabolites that mark this relationship. Our finding with respect to urate corroborates a longstanding literature on the relationship between sugar (in particular, fructose) intake and gout [9], a condition caused by high serum uric acid in tissues (hyperuricemia), as well as the established link between hyperuricemia and high blood pressure in adults [10] and children [11,12]. The process of phosphorylation of fructose, the first step of fructose metabolism, leads to an increase in circulating uric acid as a byproduct [13].…”

“…In this study, the mean SUA levels of Korean children and adolescents differed by 5.9±0.1 mg/dL and 4.6±0.1 mg/dL for males and females, respectively. These differences were also reported in prior studies in other countries, and studies in Brazil and Japan for children and adolescents also found that males have higher SUA levels than females [7,8]. In this study, male SUA levels increased significantly with age, whereas female SUA levels according to age was not statistically significant but showed an increasing tendency.…”

“…In children and adolescents with hyperuricemia, the proportion of high SBP, which is a component of MetS and a CMRF, was higher. Hyperuricemia is also associated with hypertension in studies on children and adolescents in Brazil and the United States [7,10]. The Bogalusa Heart Study reported that the SUA level in childhood is a risk of developing adult hypertension after a 12-year follow-up period [34].…”

“…In unadjusted analyses, serum uric acid concentration was significantly related to each outcome criterion; however, in fully adjusted multivariate models, this significance could no longer be shown. Nevertheless, as serum uric acid levels show significant associations with eGFR and in some studies with blood pressure, 34,41,42,49 the topic of hyperuricemia should not be neglected.…”
