Xanthine oxidase inhibitors are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease

Abstract As previous studies have reported finding an association between hyperuricemia and the development of cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease, hyperuricemia is thought to be an independent risk factor for hypertension and diabetic mellitus. However, we have not been able to determine whet...
