Objectives: In this particular research we aimed to assess the correlation of hyperuricemia with gender and hypertension duration among selected patients. Material and Methods: We completed this cross-sectional research at Medicine Department of Mayo Hospital, Lahore in the timeframe of January 2017 to October 2017 on a total of 359 patients. The research sample consisted of 359 hypertension patients. We evaluated the relation of gender and hypertension with hyperuricemia among all the patients in ten months duration. Results: Selected patients were in the age bracket of (30 – 70) years with an average age of (50.91 ± 12.23). A total of 150 out of 359 hypertension patients (41.78%) were reported for Hyperuricemia. In terms of gender distribution, a total of 154 hypertensive patients (42.95%) were male and 205 hypertensive patients (57.10%) were female. Female population dominated the male population. Conclusion: The research outcomes clearly reflect an increased hyperuricemia rate among female population in comparison to the male hypertensive patients. We also report a significant statistical relation between hypertension duration and hyperuricemia among all the hypertensive patients.
