SUA, serum uric acid; TyG, triglyceride-glucose index; ALB, serum albumin; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; Scr, blood creatinine; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; HCY, homocysteine; LPa, lipoprotein a; TC, total cholesterol; INR, international normalized ratio; and eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. Statistically significant P-values in bold for a better follow-up of the results. The bold values mean that these parameters were associated with SUA in patients with primary hypertension (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, the multivariate analysis also revealed that the TyG index was positively associated with SUA after adjusting for potential confounding factors.
