1 We tested the hypothesis that the serum uric acid concentration predicts the renal vascular response to Ang II. Uric Acid angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
2 Multivariable regression analysis determined if the serum uric acid concentration independently predicts the RPF response to Ang II. Uric Acid angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: Uric acid concentration negatively correlated with the RPF response to Ang II (r=-0.37, P < 0.001). Uric Acid angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
4 In multivariable analysis, serum uric acid concentration independently predicted the RPF response to Ang II (beta=-5.3, P < 0.001). Uric Acid angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSION: Serum uric acid independently predicted blunted renal vascular responsiveness to Ang II, consistent with results from experimental hyperuricemia showing an activated intrarenal RAS. Uric Acid angiotensinogen Homo sapiens
