A, Serum uric acid is plotted against systolic BP for children with normal BP (controls) and primary hypertension. B, Serum uric acid is plotted against diastolic BP for children with normal BP and primary hypertension. Data do not include individuals with secondary hypertension. Solid and dotted lines in both panels represent the best fit and 95% confidence intervals, respectively, and demonstrate the linear relation between uric acid concentration and BP. Pearson correlation coefficients are r=0.8053 (P=0.000004) for systolic BP and r=0.6606 (P=0.0014) for diastolic BP.
