title: [Relationships between arterial hypertension, metabolic disturbances and uric acid nephropathy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study effects of uric acid disbolism in combination with other metabolic disturbances on prevalence and clinical symptoms of arterial hypertension; contribution of uric acid nephropathy to its development.
  
  
  METHODS
  A cohort of 243 representatives from a general population (107 males, 136 females, age 19-59 years) was studied in 1986 and 15 years later. At the beginning and end of the trial the participants were examined for arterial hypertension, microalbuminuria, uric acid nephropathy, blood biochemical tests were made.
  
  
  RESULTS
  For 15-year follow-up prevalence of arterial hypertension doubled, incidence of hyperuricemia and hyperuricosuria, hypertriglyceridemia increased considerably. The number of hypertensive subjects was maximal in the group with the greatest number of signs of uric acid nephropathy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The population studied exhibited increasing frequency of some risk factors, especially of uric acid metabolism, contributing to formation of arterial hypertension.
