Abstract

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Hypertension and hyperuricemia are common problems in elderly patients. These problems could be accelerated decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with aging. It is suggested that lowering uric acid with allopurinol could be beneficial to prevent chronic insufficiency in the elderly patients with hypertension. Please cite this paper as: Mottaghi P.
