The relationship between uric acid and erectile dysfunction in hypertensive subjects.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Endothelial dysfunction plays a major role in erectile dysfunction (ED). Uric acid (UA) is a marker of endothelial dysfunction. We hypothesized that increased UA levels may be associated with ED and aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between, UA and ED in hypertensive patients. METHODS:A total of 200 hypertensive patients who have a normal treadmill exercise test were divided into two groups based on the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) test (< 21 defined as ED n = 110, and ≥ 21 defined as normal erectile function n = 90). The differences between the ED and normal erectile function groups were compared and determinants of ED were analyzed. MAIN RESULTS:The prevalence of ED was found to be 55.0%. Office blood pressure level was comparable between groups. UA levels were significantly increased in the ED group (6.20 ± 1.56 vs 5.44 ± 1.32, p = 0.01). In a regression model, age [odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 1.08 (1.04-1.14), p = 0.001], smoking [odds ratio: 2.33 (1.04-5.20), p = 0.04] and UA [odds ratio: 1.76 (1.28-2.41), p = 0.04] were independent determinants of ED. An UA level of > 5.2 mg/dl had 76.2% sensitivity, 43.7% specificity, 62.9% positive and 59.4% negative predictive value for determining ED. CONCLUSION:UA is an independent determinant of ED irrespective of blood pressure control and questioning erectile function for hypertensive patients with increased UA levels may be recommended.
