Cirrhosis Of Liver

Background: Hyperuricemia is now an established factor to cause oxidative stress, insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. So it is likely that hyperuricemia might be involved in hepatic necro-inflammation and destruction which are the common underlying pathophysiology of cirrhosis. On the other hand, as uric acid is the end product of cellular degradation, increased hepatocyte destruction due to any etiology increases the level of serum uric acid which might further aggravate hepatic necro-inflammation, cirrhosis & complications. Objectives: To assess serum uric acid concentrations in patients of cirrhosis of liver and its relation with cirrhosis of different etiology, disease severity and liver enzymes. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional observational study was carried out in the Department of Gastroenterology, BSMMU, Bangladesh during the period of September 2015 to October 2016. A total of 220 diagnosed cases of cirrhosis of liver due to any cause from inpatient & outpatient Department of Gastroenterology of Banghabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University were enrolled as the study population. Serum uric acid level was measured in each patient and its relationship with different etiology of cirrhosis, severity of cirrhosis and liver enzymes were assessed. Results: The mean age was found to be 47.8 ± 14.6 years and male: female ratio was 1.9:1. Majority patients (52.3%) belonged to CTP Class C. The mean (±SD) value of serum uric acid was 6.19 (±3.25mg/dl) and hyperuricemia (>7 mg/dl) was detected in 27.73% patients. Among all etiologies of CLD, the higher mean (±SD) level of serum uric acid was found in NAFLD (19.54 ±2.20 mg/dl). There was positive correlation of serum uric acid with liver enzymes. Conclusion: Mean serum uric acid level increased gradually as the cirrhotic patients progressed to higher CTP classes & there was positive correlation of serum uric acid with liver enzymes. It requires further large scale multicenter studies with increased sample size & prolong follow-up to establish serum uric acid as a risk factor of CLD.

Introduction: Gout is crystal deposit arthritis and is an ancient disease. The biologic precursor to gout is hyperuricaemia. The prevalence of hyperuricaemia and gout has an increasing trend all over the world including the developing countries. The purpose of this study is to estimate serum uric acid level in hyperuricaemic and gout patients attending a medical college hospital. Methods: A consecutive 150 hyperuricaemics and 150 gout patients attending Tribhuwan University Teaching Hospital from June to September 2005 were included in this study. The serum uric acid level was measured by the enzymatic (PAP- Uricase) method. The patients with acute gout were interviewed and relevant information was obtained. Results: Males comprised 84 % of gout cases. Hyperuricaemia was common in both sexes. The mean age for gout was 47.49 and 56.65 years in males and females respectively. The mean age for the first gout attack was 42.1 ± 14.0 years. Family history was positive in 22 % of cases. The overall mean serum uric acid level in hyperuricaemics was 7.2 ± 0.7 mg/dL and 8.4 ± 1.1 mg/dL in acute gout (p 0.0001). The mean serum uric acid level was signifi cantly (p 0.0001) high among males both at the asymptomatic phase and at acute gout. Gout was more common in non-vegetarians (95 %) and alcoholics (65.3 %). Serum uric acid level was inversely related with the amount of daily water intake (p 0.0001). Conclusions: Serum uric acid level is signifi cantly high among the male gouty arthritic patients. However, it is also high among asymptomatic hyperuricaemic cases of both sexes.  Keywords: asymptomatic hyperuricaemia, gout, serum uric acid level.

Background: Present study was done to estimate the level of serum uric acid in acute ischemic stroke and to find out whether it is protective against or increases the risk for ischemic stroke and its effect on stroke outcome.Methods: A total of 100 patients and 100 controls were taken randomly. Risk factors of stroke were considered such as hypertension, diabetes, adverse lipid profile, smoking and obesity. Serum uric acid level was measured in both cases and controls. Modified National Institute of Health (NIH) stroke scale score was calculated at the time of admission and discharge. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 21.0 software.Results: Out of 100 patients studied 65 were males and 35 were females. The mean serum uric acid level in stroke cases was 6.11±1.47 where as it was 4.85±1.12 in controls. SUA levels was higher among males than females. The mean SUA in hypertensive subjects (6.58±1.33) was significantly higher than in normotensive subjects (5.23±1.42). There was statistically significant difference between SUA levels in diabetic (6.66±1.26) and non-diabetic patients (5.63±1.49). Mean SUA among overweight patients was (7.0±1.16) where as it was (5.22±1.23) in patients with normal weight. The mean SUA in smokers (6.33±1.38) was higher than that in non-smokers (6.02±1.51). There was significant positive correlation between SUA an NIH stroke scale score(P<0.05). SUA levels were significantly higher in patients who succumbed as compared to those who were discharged from hospital.Conclusions: SUA can be used as a marker for increased of stroke. Higher SUA is associated with a bad prognosis.

Background: Hyperuricemia develops when serum uric acid level exceeds the normal value. Estrogen may influence the level of serum uric acid. Postmenopausal females have a remarkable reduction in its level, so serum estradiol is studied in relation to serum uric acid levels in pre and post-menopausal women. Objective: To find out the relationship of serum Estradiol with serum uric acid level in premenopausal and postmenopausal women in local population. Study Design: Case control study. Setting: This study was conducted in Lady Aitchison Hospital Lahore. Period: March 2017- August 2017. Material and Methods: 134 females were enrolled in total and were grouped in to two. Group A comprised of premenopausal and Group B included postmenopausal females. After complete history and general physical examination, 5 ml venous blood sample under aseptic measures was taken. Serum uric acid was measured by enzymatic and serum estradiol by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Results: The mean age of pre and postmenopausal women was 32 and 57 ± 7 years, with significantly lower in premenopause. The mean serum E2 was 91.86 ± 26.71 mg/dL in premenopause and 22.04 ± 9.28 mg/dL in postmenopause, with significantly lower mean in postmenopause. Mean serum uric acid was statistically higher in postmenopause that was 6.04 ± 0.58 mg/dL, when compared to premenopause that was 4.22 ± 0.90 mg/dL. Conclusion: Serum uric acid levels increased due to decreased serum estradiol in postmenopausal women as compared to premenopausal women.

A high serum uric acid (SUA) level is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about the relationship between arterial stiffness and uric acid in healthy subjects with a normal SUA level. We assessed whether a high-normal uric acid level increased arterial stiffness by measuring brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV) in healthy subjects. Among 779 subjects who visited the health promotion center, 393 men and 234 women with normal SUA levels (male: 3.5–8.0 mg/dl, female: 2.5–5.4 mg/dl) were divided into quartiles: in men, Q1 ( n = 90, 3.5–4.3 mg/dl), Q2 ( n = 94, 4.4–5.1 mg/dl), Q3 ( n = 106, 5.2–5.9 mg/dl) and Q4 ( n = 103, 6.0–8.0 mg/dl); in women, Q1 ( n = 57, 2.5–3.6 mg/dl), Q2 ( n = 49, 3.7–4.1 mg/dl), Q3 ( n = 61, 4.2–4.6 mg/dl) and Q4 ( n = 67, 4.7–5.4 mg/dl). The mean values of ba-PWV increased gradually by SUA quartile. The men’s SUA had an independent, positive association with ba-PWV after correcting for age, glucose, body mass index, blood pressure, resting heart rate, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and triglyceride ( R2 = 0.39, adjusted R2 = 0.37, p < 0.001). The odds ratios (95% CI) for high ba-PWVs (> 75th percentile, 1473 cm/s) in men were 1.89 (0.69–5.20, Q2), 2.36 (1.10–5.08, Q3), and 2.91 (1.39–6.11, Q4), after adjusting for confounding factors ( p < 0.001). In women, SUA showed no independent association with ba-PWV ( p = 0.186). After adjusting for confounding factors, the mean ba-PWV values of Q3 (1418 cm/s) and Q4 (1421 cm/s) in men were higher than those of Q1 (1355 cm/s) ( p < 0.05). Above the SUA level of 5.2 mg/dl, arterial stiffness was increased in healthy Korean men.

Background: Uric acid is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Hospital admission for ischemic heart disease (IHD) is increasing rapidly in our country. Although studies were conducted abroad regarding association of serum uric acid with in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), no data is yet available to show the association in our country. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the association of serum uric acid level on admission with in-hospital outcomes of the patients with ACS. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional comparative study was done in the Department of Cardiology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) from January to December 2012. After proper ethical consideration total 93 ACS patients were enrolled in the study by nonrandom sampling. Serum uric acid of all subjects was measured within 24 hours of admission. Then in-hospital outcomes were observed in all subjects. Results: The frequency of hyperuricemia among ACS patients was 24.7% (22.54% in male and 31.82% in female). Hyperuricemic patients significantly developed heart failure (30.4% vs 11.4%, p=0.032) and conduction defect (13.0% vs 1.4%, p=0.017) than normouricemic subjects. The mean ejection fraction was significantly lower in hyperuricemic patients than patients with normal uric acid level (50.87 ± 10.27% vs 55.94 ± 6.66%). The mean ± SD duration of hospital stay of hyperuricemic group was significantly longer in patients with ACS (8.26 ± 1.18 vs 7.51±1.18 days, p=0.010). Conclusion: The measurement of serum uric acid level, an easily available and inexpensive biochemical tool, might turn out as a valuable risk marker for prediction of in-hospital outcomes in patients with ACS.

Background: Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is the commonest form of ACS and a leading global cause of premature morbidity and mortality. Evidences link serum uric acid with short and long-term major adverse outcomes (MACE) in patients with NSTEMI. Objective: To see in-hospital outcome of NSTEMI patients with raised serum uric acid level. Methodology: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet during the period from July, 2017 to June, 2019. Fifty NSTEMI patients with raised serum uric acid (>7mg/dl in male; >6mg/dl in female) level (Group A) and fifty NSTEMI patients with normal serum uric acid level (group B) admitted within 24 hours of symptom onset were consequently enrolled. In-hospital complications and mortality were recorded while continuing standard treatment for the event. Results: The mean age was 60.82 (SD 9.62) years in group A and 49.90 (SD 10.40) years in group B. The mean age of the patients of group A was significantly higher than patients of Group B (p<0.001). Male preponderance was in both groups (84.0% versus 80.0%; p=0.603). Diabetes mellitus (52.0% versus 22.0%; p=0.002), hypertension (78.0% versus 52.0%; p=0.039) and dyslipidaemia (48.0% versus 12.0%; p<0.001) were more frequent in group A than that of group B. But smoking status (70.0% versus 66.0%; p=0.668), family history of CAD (10.0% versus 26.0%; p=0.476) did not differ significantly. Killip class did not differ significantly between group A and group B (p=0.127). In-hospital mortality was 5 (10.0%) patients in group A and 2 (4.0%) patients in group B; did not reach the level of significance (p>0.05) and complications such as post MI angina, cardiogenic shock, acute left ventricular failure, re-infarction, sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, bundle branch block, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation did not differ significantly between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant difference between in-hospital outcome (mortality and complications) of NSTEMI patients with raised and normal serum uric acid level.
