Background: It has been reported that a major cause of vasospastic angina is endothelial dysfunction of the coronary artery. However, it is controversial whether the uric acid level is associated with vasospastic angina, and can be a prognostic factor for vasospastic angina. Methods: A total 3828 patients (pts) underwent coronary angiography with acetylcholine (Ach) provocation test from Mar 2004 to Sep 2012 were enrolled. The definition of positive coronary artery spasm (CAS) was defined as transient luminal narrowing more than 70%. The uric acid level was categorized into 4 quartile groups; less than 3.8, 3.9~4.7, 4.8~5.7, and more than 5.8 mg/dL. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) defined as the composite of recurrent chest pain, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident were valuated up to 3 years. Results: The follow-up rate was the 61.1% (2340/3828). There was no difference in uric acid level between negative and positive CAS groups in female gender but in male gender, uric acid level was higher in negative CAS group (Table 1). However, when adjusted by age, the difference was disappeared (OR, 0.965; 95% CI, 0.898-1.037; P-value, 0.335). The incidence of MACE was 11.1% in male gender and 8.6% in female gender. In male gender, the serum uric acid level between the groups with and without MACE was similar but in female gender, the uric acid level was higher in the group with MACE. However, when adjusted by age, uric acid was not associated with MACE (Table 2). Conclusions: In our study, uric acid was neither the risk factor nor prognostic factor for 3-year clinical events in CAS patients regardless of gender.

Abstract Background: To clarify the risk factors associated with NAFLD and further clarify the correlation between uric acid level and NAFLD by analyzing the correlation between NAFLD and different metabolic factors.Methods: Datas were obtained from subjects who underwent health examination in the Health promotion centre of Sir Run Run Shaw hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2016 to December 2017.The diagnosis of NAFLD was according to the clinical diagnosis of the Guidelines.Statistical analyses were performed using R software.Results: 79492 subjects were analyzed. 56680(71.3%) participants did not have NAFLD, 22812(28.7%) participants had NAFLD. Male, age, BMI, high blood pressure, central obesity, high glycosylated hemoglobin, high serum uric acid, high triglyceride, high total cholesterol, high low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), abnormal liver function were risk factors of NAFLD, however, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level was another risk factor of NAFLD.OR value suggested serum uric acid was a robust risk factor for NAFLD in all subgroups.In male group, AUC was 0.656 (95%CI: 0.651-0.661), the optimal diagnostic threshold was 395.5 mol/L, the sensitivity was 61.9%, the specificity was 61.1%, and the yoden index was 0.23. In female group, AUC was 0.716 (95%CI: 0.708-0.724), the optimal diagnostic threshold was 294.5 mol/L, sensitivity was 67.7%, specificity was 64.5%, and the Jordan index was 0.32.Conclusions: Our study suggested that there was a close correlation between serum uric acid level and NAFLD.Uric acid levels was a key risk factor for NAFLD.The diagnosis of fatty liver in patients can be preliminarily determined by detecting uric acid level.Contributions to the literature:1. The purpose of this study was to clarify the risk factors associated with NAFLD and further clarify the correlation between uric acid level and NAFLD by analyzing the correlation between NAFLD and different metabolic factors in the physical examination population.2. There was a close correlation between serum uric acid level and NAFLD.Uric acid levels was a key risk factor for NAFLD.3. The diagnosis of fatty liver in patients can be preliminarily determined by detecting uric acid level.

Background: Elevated uric acid level is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcome in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). On the other hand, cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging provides prognostic information in patients with CHF. However, there is no information available on the prognostic value of cardiac MIBG imaging in CHF patients, relating to hyperuricemia. Methods: We enrolled 113 CHF outpatients (NYHA2.0±0.6, ischemic origin 48%) with radionuclide LVEF <40%(30±8%). The cardiac MIBG washout rate (WR) was calculated from the chest anterior view images obtained at 20 and 200 min after isotope injection. Abnormal WR was defined as >27% as reported previously. At the entry, we measured serum uric acid level and hyperuricemia was define as >7.0mg/dl. The primary end point was cardiac death. Reults: At the entry, 59 and 51 of 113 patients had abnormal WR and hyperuricemia, respectively. Serum uric acid level was significantly higher in patients with than without abnormal WR (7.3±1.8 vs 6.3±2.0 mg/dl, p=0.007). During the follow up period of 7.6±4.3 years, 35 patients had cardiac death. Cardiac death was significantly more often observed in patients with than without abnormal WR (47% vs 13%, p<0.001) and hyperuricemia (42% vs 23%, p=0.034). At multivariate Cox analysis, abnormal WR and hyperuricemia were significantly independently associated with cardiac death (p=0.02 and p=0.03, respectively). Patients with abnormal WR had a significantly greater risk of cardiac death than those with normal WR in group with hyperuricemia (p=0.004, harard ratio: 6.5, 95%CI 1.8 to 23.4) and without hyperuricemia(p=0.001, hazard ratio: 4.4, 95%CI 1.5 to 13.2). Conclusion: Cardiac MIBG imaging provides the additional information to hyperuricemia in CHF.

Background: The prevalence of gout increased based on age, highest at age 70-79 years 9.3%, age 60-69 years 8%, age 50-59 years 3.7%, and age 40-49 years 3.3%. Meanwhile, based on gender, the prevalence of gout diagnosed with health workers was higher in women at 13.4% compared to men 10.3%. Overweight and obesity can trigger an increase in uric acid levels, so it is one of a risk factor for hyperuricemia. Various high protein and purine foods have long been considered a risk factor for gout. Similarly, the possibility that consumption of dairy products especially cow's milk has a role in protecting the risk of gout based on the results of metabolic studies.Objective: To determined the relationship of sex, body mass index (BMI), dairy products consumption and uric acid levels of the elderly in Cipondoh Sub-District Tangerang.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. Research participants were collected by using purposive sampling. Primary data consisted of respondent characteristics, dairy products consumption, BMI, and uric acid levels.Results: The results of this research have shown there was a correlation between BMI and uric acid level p = 0.007, dairy products consumption and uric acid level p = 0.0001, but there was no correlation between sex and uric acid level p = 0.204 in the elderly at Cipondoh Sub-District Tangerang.Conclusion: There was a correlation between BMI, dairy products consumption with uric acid levels of the elderly in Cipondoh Sub-District Tangerang.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. Early intervention in lupus nephritis improves prognosis. There is an association between hyperuricemia and lupus nephritis; nevertheless, the sex-specific role of uric acid in lupus nephritis remains unclear. We retrospectively analyzed 578 patients diagnosed with LN by renal biopsy. We determine the relationship of serum uric acid to progression of LN using Kaplan–Meier survival analyses and Cox proportional hazards models. The primary end point was LN progression defined as the initiation of dialysis or kidney transplantation. Men had higher mean serum uric acid levels than did women. Every 1 mg/dL increase in baseline uric acid level increased the risk of LN progression by 15.1%. The serum uric acid level was an independent risk factor for LN progression in women (hazard ratio [HR], 1.158; confidence interval [CI], 1.018–1.317; p = 0.028) but not in men (HR, 1.499; CI, 0.964–2.331; p = 0.072). Sensitivity analysis involving serum uric acid terciles generated consistent and robust results. Serum uric acid level was an independent risk factor for LN progression in women but not in men.
