NCT03921736

Brief Summary

The aim was to assess the effect of estrogen-progestin therapy (EPT) on serum levels of uric acid (SUA) and its precursors: xanthine (X) and hypoxanthine (HX) and on uric acid (UA) renal excretion in hypertensive postmenopausal women treated with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or thiazide diuretic (HCTZ).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Blood pressure in mmHg

    As compared with normotensive women, hypertensive women showed higher office and ambulatory blood pressure, as well as a lower night-time decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Both perindopril and hydrochlorothiazide led to a similar reduction in arterial blood pressure in hypertensive women. After 12 months of treatment, statistically significant differences were observed between the EPT+ and EPT- subgroups in systolic and diastolic office-based blood pressure in the study group treated with ACEI. Such effect of EPT on ABPM(ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) was not observed in all study participants. Multiple linear regression models have shown that after 12 months of antihypertensive treatment there were no significant differences in night-time decrease in blood pressure caused by EPT treatment, despite its significant change when compared to baseline values for ACEI and HCTZ subgroups.
