New therapeutic approaches to resistant hypertension.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:In chronic kidney disease (CKD), plasma uric acid levels are increased because of the decrease in glomerular filtration rate. However, in addition to CKD, hyperuricemia is frequently associated with a number of other conditions such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart failure, overwei...
