Backgrounds: Hyperuricemia has not yet been established as cardiovascular risk factor. We aimed to study the angiographic severity in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and hyperuricemia.Materials and Methods: In this observational cross-sectional study we measured serum uric acid level in 82 patients of CAD who underwent coronary angiography in catheterisation laboratory of our Institution. Severity of CAD was determined on the basis of Gensini score, number of diseased vessels, critical lesions and total occlusions.Results: The prevalence of hyperuricemia in patients with CAD was 42.68% in our study. Hyperuricemia was associated with higher Gensini score (33.33±10.64 vs. 22.90±6.75, p value <0.001), number of critical lesions (1.03±0.84 vs. 0.63±0.72, p value 0.031), total occlusions (0.67±0.47 vs. 0.37±0.48, p value 0.007) and dyslipidemia (63.6% vs. 30.6%, p value 0.003) more frequently compared to normouricemic patients. And also the higher serum uric acid level was correlated with higher Gensini score (beta 0.418, t 4.430, p value <0.001, 95% CI 0.036 and 0.094) and frequent number of total occlusion (beta 0.338, t 3.589, p value 0.001, 95% CI 0.462 and 1.613).Conclusion: Hyperuricemia was associated with higher Gensini score, frequent total occlusions and critical lesions in patients with Coronary Artery Disease compared to patients with normal uric acid level and also it was significantly correlated with higher Gensini score and frequent total occlusions.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(2) 2015 1-4

Background: Few studies have assessed the relation of uric acid level with the severity of coronary  artery disease (CAD). This study investigated the association between high uric acid levels with the  presence and severity of CAD.Materials and Methods: This study was designed as an observational cohort study. The study was  composed of 180 patients admitted at our institution due to symptoms related to CAD. Patients  having angiographic evidence of stenosis in coronary artery were as case group and without stenosis  control group. Patients with high uric acid (hyperuricemia) were defined as serum uric acid  concentration ?7.0mg/dl or ?420 ?mol/L in men and ?6mg/dl or ?360 ? mol/L in women. The  presence of CAD has been defined as the Gensini score being ?1.  Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the mean uric acid levels of patients  with and without CAD (358.23±71.11 ?mol/l vs251.32±54.92 ?mol/l respectively, p<0.001). There  was a statistically significant difference between ejection fraction of patients with and without CAD  (54.50±9.25 vs. 63.16±6.56 respectively, p?0.001). Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated a  positive correlation between the serum uric acid level and the severity of CAD (p=?0.001, r=0.39).  When patients were classified into four groups according to their Gensini score, mean serum uric  acid level was found to be significantly increased across the tertiles, and a statistically significant  difference was detected between the tertiles (p= ?0.001).  Conclusion: In conclusion, a significant association has been found between serum uric acid level  and the presence and severity of CAD. In addition to the evaluation of conventional risk factors in  daily clinical practice, the measurement of uric acid level might provide significant prognostic  benefits in terms of global cardiovascular risk and management of the patients.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is the most important risk factor associated with two to four fold increased incidence of coronary artery disease. The major risk factors for CAD are hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cigarette smoking Objectives: To study the level of serum uric acid in type 2 diabetes mellitus and the correlation between elevated serum uric acid level and the component of metabolic syndrome like obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia.Methods: The study was done as descriptive analytical study among the diabetic patients in a tertiary care setting during the period January 2018 to February 2019. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were clearly defined and the study participants were recruited for the study after getting the informed consent. The socio demographic profile, clinical and laboratory data were collected from the blood sample obtained from the patients with the standardized procedures. Data was entered in Microsoft excel spread sheet and analyzed statistically using SPSS statistical software. Student ‘t’ test and Chi-square test values were applied for significance.Results: Serum uric acid in the study population and control varied from 3.0 to 8.1 and 2.7 to 5.5 mg/dl respectively. The mean and standard deviation of uric acid among cases was 5.08±1.42 while in control it was 3.55±0.62 respectively. The serum uric acid level of diabetics was very much elevated compare with controls and it was highly significant. Significant correlation was noticed between serum uric acid and BMI as well as WHR. Elevated uric acid levels were significantly noticed among those with hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease and chronicity of the diabetes.Conclusions: Uric acid was significantly elevated in diabetic population and the mean value of serum uric acid level was higher in longer duration of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, central obesity which are the components of metabolic syndrome.
