The potential association between altered levels of plasma free amino acids (PFAAs) and uric acid (UA) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) remains unknown among patients with hypertension. A total of 2804 healthy controls and 2455 hypertensive patients were included in the current analysis. eGFR was defined as reduced when it was <60 ml/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup>. The associations between reduced eGFR and individual PFAAs and UA in the healthy control and hypertension groups were explor ...[more]
