Asymptomatic hyperuricemia (HU) is widespread in the population. Results of multiple studies have demonstrated independent associations between increased levels of uric acid and risk of arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic kidney disease. HU is considered as an independent predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Despite the extensive study of this issue, there is still no unified answer to questions regarding the necessity of urate-lowering therapy in asymptomatic HU, whereas results of studies on the effect of this therapy on outcomes of cardiovascular and kidney diseases are controversial. This review summarized the basic, currently available information on this issue.
