Background: The association of serum uric acid (SUA) with hypertension has been well established in Caucasian populations. However, its association with hypertension in Chinese remained to be clarified. Methods: Consecutive patients, homogeneous in Chinese Han ethnicity, aged ≥18 years, abstracted from the database, admitted from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2013, were included for potential analysis. The patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of hypertension. Unconditional logistic regression was performed to estimate the association between SUA and hypertension. Its possible interactions with risk factors on hypertension were also explored. Results: A total of 9587 patients were finally analyzed in the current study, where 5692 were with hypertension and 3895 were without hypertension. Per 100 μmol/L higher SUA concentration was associated with multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) of 1.25 (1.08−1.22) in males, 1.10 (1.01−1.20) in females, and 1.19 (1.13−1.24) in total. On a categorical scale, when compared with the first quintile, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) were 1.40 (1.20−1.64) for the 2nd quintile, 1.48 (1.27−1.74) for the 3rd quintile, 1.55 (1.32−1.82) for the 4th quintile, and 1.92 (1.63−2.26) for the 5th quintile, with a p for trend &lt; 0.01. Conclusions: SUA is associated with hypertension in a dose-response manner among the Chinese hospitalized population. Management of SUA could help to the prevention and control of hypertension.
