Background: The relationship between serum uric acid and arterial stiffness or blood pressure is not clear. The serum uric acid level and its association with cardiovascular risk is not well known in patients with reduced renal mass. We aimed to investigate the relation between serum uric acid levels and arterial stiffness and also blood pressure in patients with congenital renal agenesis and/or hypoplasia. Material and Methods: In this single center, cross-sectional study, a total of 55 patients (39 (% 70.9) with unilateral small kidney and 16 (% 29.1) with renal agenesis) were included. The median age was 35 (21-50) years. The study population was divided into tertiles of serumuric acid (according to 2.40-3.96, 3.97-5.10, and 5.11-9.80mg/dl cut-off values of serum uric acid levels). Official and 24-h ambulatory non-invasive blood pressures of all patients were measured. The arterial stiffness was assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV). Results: PWV values were increased from first to third tertile (5.5 +/- 0.6, 5.7 +/- 0.8, 6.1 +/- 0.7, respectively), but this gradual increase between tertiles did not reach significance. Linear regression analyses showed a positive correlation between serum uric acid levels and PWV (beta = 0.40, p = 0.010), but no correlation was found between uric acid and daytime systolic blood pressure (beta = 0.24, p = 0.345). Conclusion: In congenital renal agenesis/hypoplasia, the serumuric acid level was positively correlated with arterial stiffness, but there was no correlation with blood pressure.
