        <p>ABSTRACT
Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is believed to be more severe and more common in patients with dual metabolic syndrome diseases (essential hypertensive disease (EHD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)) and comparatively less severe and less common in patients with either of these dual metabolic syndrome diseases.  To determine the heterogeneity of renal pathogenicity on the background of asymptomatic hyperuricemia in the clinical course of EHD combined with T2DM using correlations between uric acid levels in the blood, systolic blood pressure levels, glycated hemoglobin, dyslipidemia, inflammatory processes, kidney damage, etc. The research included 105 patients (50 males and 55 females), aged 41-70 years, average age being (54.2Â±4.0) years. Patients were divided into 3 groups: Group I (GI) consisted of 25 patients with treatment-compensated EHD, 1-2 degree, stage II; Group Ð†Ð† (GII) was made up of 25 patients with subcompensated T2DM (glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) - from 7.0 to 11.0%); Group III (GIII) had 55 patients with EHD, 1-2 degree, stage Ð†Ð† combined with subcompensated T2DM. Control group consisted of 15 practically healthy volunteers, 10 (66.7%) females and 5 (33.3%) males, aged (54.6Â±4.2) years. Groups were randomized according to age, sex, BMI, duration of EHD and T2DM. In addition to general clinical examination conducted; blood levels of uric acid (UA), lipids,  tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-Î±), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were determined. Urine levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) was also determined using immuno-fermentation methods. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia characterized by an increase in blood uric acid level of more than 410 Î¼mol/l was observed in 34.6% of GI patients, in 21.8% of GII patients and most commonly in 55.7% of GIII patients with EHD combined with T2DM. Correlations between blood uric acid level with albuminuria was found (r=+0.42; p</p>
