There is no relationship. Uric Acid is a product of metabolization but it doesn`t cause you hipertension. Hipertension can damage your kidneys and it can elevate your uric acid level.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
High uric acid may be associated with hypertension because they can be seen in the same group of people who tend to have gout. Gout is usually a lifestyle disorder seen in men with less physical activity who tend to drink alcohol and eat plenty of meat. This predisposes for hypertension as well. Kidney failure if occurring due to uric acid damage can also cause hypertension.
