Losartan treatment for hypertensive patients with hyperuricaemia in Chinese population

Abstract: There are no significant differences between losartan and other antihypertensive agents in the reduction of blood pressure. However, losartan is superior to other agents in the reduction of serum uric acid levels; it might be a better choice in hypertensive patients with hyperuricaemia.

“…Moreover, several non‐antigout agents have shown an SUA‐lowering effect. In patients with or without hyperuricaemia, SUA reduction was observed with losartan (93.39 μmol/L), atorvastatin (39.62 μmol/L), simvastatin (5.95 μmol/L) and fenofibrate (100.11 μmol/L) . Among these, losartan is considered to increase UA excretion, targeting URAT1 encoded by SLC22A12.…”

“…Losartan potassium has a uricosuric effect and can decrease cardiovascular events by 13–29% by lowering serum uric acid. [ 102 103 ] Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist with a uricosuric effect. It is recommended for use in hypertensive patients with ischemic stroke.…”

“…For each additional increase of 60 μmol/L in serum uric acid, cardiovascular mortality and ischemic heart disease mortality increase by 26% and 30% in women and by 9% and 17% in men, respectively, and the risk of coronary heart disease increases in women by 48%. [ 101 102 ] HUA is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and coronary heart disease mortality in women. The effects of HUA on the development and prognosis of coronary heart disease differ between men and women, possibly because of the effects of estrogen.…”
