AbstractBackgroundThe role of blood uric acid and more recently bilirubin as biomarkers in symptomatic motor PD has been increasingly established in the literature.ObjectiveOur present study assessed the role of serum uric acid and total bilirubin as putative biomarkers in a prodromal PD cohort followed longitudinally.MethodsLongitudinal 5-year serum uric acid and total bilirubin measurement data of 65 Prodromal PD patients (including REM Sleep Behavior disorder (RBD), N=39 and Hyposmia, N=26) with an abnormal DATSCAN imaging were downloaded from the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) database. This cohort was compared with 423 de novo sporadic PD patients and 196 healthy controls enrolled in the same study.ResultsAfter adjusting for age, sex and Body Mass Index (BMI), baseline and 5-year longitudinal serum uric acid levels were higher in the Prodromal cohort and RBD subgroup as compared to the motor PD cohort. This was also true for longitudinal measurements in the Hyposmic subgroup. In contrast, baseline and longitudinal serum total bilirubin did not differ between each prodromal group and the PD cohort.ConclusionsOur results are indicative of a role of serum uric acid (but probably not of total bilirubin) as a marker of neuroprotection, in a certain subgroup of premotor patients exhibiting exclusively non motor features (hyposmia or RBD). It is possible that an inherent antioxidant resistance of a subset of RBD or hyposmia patients with high serum uric acid level delayed or precluded the emergence of a motor PD phenotype as opposed to the PD cohort.

Disease Condition

Gouty Arthritis has now become a common disease condition which we deal in Ayurveda, but a proper treatment protocol is not followed in many cases. The case reported here was as a result of improper diet and lack of exercise which resulted in an increase serum uric acid level and joint inflammation. The treatment was given at IPD level diagnosing it as Gambhira Vatarakta with valid Chikitsa Siddhanta. This case report provides us a guidelines that even a chronic gouty arthritis with a very high serum uric acid can be treated as per Vataraktha Chikitsa Siddhanta in Ayurveda.

Background: Among non-communicable diseases, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common killer of people in the world. The management of AMI patients is one of the major challenges in the field of cardiology. Uric acid has several effects of potential interest in cardiovascular disease. There are some markers indicating an unfavorable prognosis in AMI patients. Uric acid is one of the markers that have been evaluated in research. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the association between serum uric acid level and in-hospital outcomes of AMI patients. Patients and methods: This longitudinal descriptive study was conducted over 115 AMI patients in the Cardiology Unit of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital during the period of January 2015 to December 2016. Baseline characteristics such as age, sex, BMI, BP, RBS, risk factors (hypertension, DM, smoking, family history of IHD, dyslipidemia), and outcomes of AMI patients (acute LVF, arrhythmia, conduction block, cardiogenic shock, death) were recorded. We measured the serum uric acid of this patient at admission.  Results: The mean age of patients was 52.83±10.71 years. Out of 115 patients, 83.5% were male, and 16.5% were female. Among the risk factors, 65.2% of patients had HTN, 20.9% DM, 64.3% smoking, 16.5% family history of IHD, and 47.8% dyslipidemia. Out of 115, 35.7% of patients demonstrated high serum uric acid. In outcomes of AMI patients, acute LVF 24.4% (p=0.031) and death 12.2% (p=0.041) were significantly higher in patients with high serum uric acid levels. Conclusion: Significant association was found between high serum uric acid level and in-hospital outcomes of AMI patients. So, estimation of serum uric acid may offer an inexpensive, quick, and non-invasive method for identifying such high-risk patients. TAJ 2021; 34: No-1: 26-32

Hyperuricemia is associated with higher mortality in patients suffering from hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular events, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, gout and renal stone formation and it is more in individuals with diabetes. The prevalence of hyperuricemia is high in T2DM. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between hyperuricemia and blood pressure in T2DM subjects and thus to help the clinician for early diagnosis, treatment and to prevent further complications. Total 350 study subjects were enrolled for this study; among them 203 were T2DM with normal level of serum uric acid level and 147 were T2DM with high serum uric acid level. It was observed that systolic blood pressure was significantly higher (134.5±9.6 mm of Hg) in T2DM with hyperuricemia (p<0.001) than T2DM with normal serum uric acid level (123.3±10.9 mm of Hg). On the other hand diastolic blood pressure was significantly higher (87.1±5.9 mm of Hg) in T2DM with hyperuricemia (p<0.001) than T2DM with normal serum uric acid level (79.6±8.3 mm of Hg). Age (years) showed no significant difference between T2DM with serum uric acid<7 mg/dl and T2DM with serum uric acid>7 mg/dl (p<0.05). In our study it was revealed that males were in greater risk of developing hyperuricemia. BMI was significantly (p<0.001) greater in T2DM subjects who had normal serum uric acid level (27.9±3.8) than with those who had serum uric acid>7 mg/dl (24.4±3.83). No significant differences were found in FBS, blood sugar 2 hours after breakfast, HbA1C, serum creatinine and blood urea between groups.Bangladesh J Med Biochem 2016; 9(2): 49-53

Background: The purpose of this study was to study the role of serum uric acid level in progression to preeclampsia in gestational hypertensive pregnancies. Methods: Hospital based comparative study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SMS medical college, Jaipur. Results: Uric acid level was significantly higher in with PIH (6.68±0.36 mg/dl) as compared to without PIH (4.92±0.57 mg/dl). Receiver-operator characteristic curve showed relatively poor sensitivity and specificity performance (area under the curve= 1.00) of serum uric acid level at the initial presentation of gestational hypertension for predicting the progression to preeclampsia The best cut-off revealed from the curve was 6.18 mg/dl. Conclusion: In conclusion, higher serum uric acid levels at the initial presentation of gestational hypertension may indicate heightened risk of progression to preeclampsia and development of adverse maternal/ infant conditions.
