The kidneys play an important role in the process of uric acid excretion, if kidney function is impaired it will cause an increase in uric acid levels / hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia conditions play an important role in the inflammatory process that causes an increase in blood pressure. This study aims to determine the level of uric acid on blood pressure in the elderly (elderly). This research is a literature study or literature study using three secondary data taken from two journals and one thesis. The data analysis used is descriptive analysis. The results of statistical tests from one source showed that there was no significant relationship between uric acid levels and blood pressure in the elderly (P> 0.05) and two sources showed a significant relationship between uric acid levels and blood pressure in the elderly (elderly) (P <0.05). The conclusion is uric acid levels are not associated with blood pressure in the elderly (elderly).
