Longitudinal trends in the prevalence of hyperuricaemia and chronic kidney disease in hypertensive and normotensive adults.

Conclusions: Over the period of 10 years, the overall prevalence of hyperuricaemia increased, while the prevalence of CKD decreased. An increase in the prevalence of hyperuricaemia was observed both in hypertensive and normotensive individuals and was accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of abdominal obesity. A decline in the prevalence of CKD was only observed in hypertensive individuals and was accompanied by the increased use of RAS inhibitors and CCBs.
