The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia according to the basic health research in 2013 was 25,8% while the prevalence in Yogyakarta was 25,7%. Hypertension is a risk factor of myocardial infarct and CVA (cerebrovascular accidents). Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Method: This research was an analytic observational study with cross sectional approach. It has been conducted at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital of Gamping from March – 24 March 2016. Subjects were obtained using total sampling method. The researcher used medical records to determine the uric acid level and blood pressure. There were 41 samples that were analyzed in this study. Result: This study shows (1) there is no significant impact between uric acid levels towards systolic blood pressure (p=0.817) and uric acid levels towards diastolic blood pressure (p= 0.274), (2) the systole and diastole blood pressure has a positive correlation with the uric acid levels, the systole has a very weak correlation (r=0.037) and so does the diastole (r=0.175). Conclusion: There is no relationship between uric acid levels and risk factor in hypertensive patient. Keywords Keywords: Uric acid levels; hyperuricemia; blood pressure; hypertension.
