Association between serum uric acid to serum creatinine ratio with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in adults with hypertension.

ABSTRACT: The serum uric acid to serum creatinine ratio (SUA/sCr) is a standardized index of renal function. More importance was attached to the significance of this ratio in the progression of hypertension. While the association between the prognosis of hypertension and SUA/sCr is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to prospectively examine the associations of serum uric acid to serum creatinine ratio and all-cause and CVD mortality in adults with hypertension. Participants with hypertension from NHANES 1999-2018 (n = 15,269) were included. They were stratified by 1 increment of SUA/sCr ratio and categorized into 6 groups as ≤ 4, > 4 to 5, > 5 to 6, > 6 to 7, > 7 to 8, and > 8. The reason for categorization in 6 groups was to analyze the influence of different ratios on outcomes accurately and provide mor
