Aim: correlation of uric acid (UA) level on serum blood and urine with indicators of not specific inflammation and clinical characteristic in essential hypertension (EH) patients. Methods: 67 patients with EH (48 men) 30-65 years age (442) with stage 1 EH (n=37) and 2 (n=30) with moderate or high cardiovascular (CV) risk. The control group - 14 healthy peoples: (6 men) 45,52,1 years age with normal blood pressure (BP). The normal level of С-reactive protein (CRP) is less 3 mg/l. The normal level of UA in blood is 202,3-416,5 mkmol/l, and in urine is 1,48-4,43 mmol/24 hour. The estimates of creatinine clearance by the Cockroft-Gault formula. Results: the patients with EH have bigger level CRP, UA in blood and urine than healthy peoples with normal BP. Higher levels UA in blood and urine have patients even with early stages EH and moderate CV risk. The bigger level of UA in blood has EH patients with obesity and dyslipidaemia. The level of UA in blood and urine is higher at EH patients with hyperfiltration vs patients with normal creatinine clearance. Conclusion: the patients with early stage of EH have higher level of UA in blood and urine than healthy peoples with normal BP. The level of UA in blood and urine is correlated with dyslipidaemia. Key words: essential hypertension, uric acid, non specific inflammation
