Background: Uric acid is one of natural antioxidants in human body. There have been several studies on the correlation between uric acid with oxidative stress and osteoporosis. However, the data are insufficient and results are controversial. In this regard, we determined the association between uric acid levels and bone mineral density (BMD) during the postmenopausal period. Methods: We analyzed data from 328 postmenopausal women (mean age, 57.3 ± 6.5 years; mean serum uric acid level, 4.6 ± 1.0 mg/dL). The participants were divided into three groups based on tertiles of the serum uric acid level. The participants receiving hormone replacement therapy (HRT), bisphosphonates, or lipid-lowering agents were included. Results: Blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and serum triglyceride levels were significantly higher in the upper tertiles of uric acid levels. No significant difference was found in the mean uric acid levels between medication users and non-users. Each HRT regimen had a different mean serum uric acid level. A cross-sectional analysis showed no significant correlation between the serum uric acid levels and BMD in the spine and femoral neck (spine BMD: 1.050 ± 0.131, 1.060 ± 0.160, 1.084 ± 0.140, p = 0.22; femoral neck BMD: 0.837 ± 0.110, 0.849 ± 0.096, 0.863 ± 0.115, p = 0.28 for each tertile of uric acid). Longitudinal analysis of data from 186 women with follow-up examinations at a mean interval of 14.6 months also revealed no difference in reduction in both spine and femoral neck BMD between tertile groups of serum uric acid (the median BMD reduction for spine: −0.02, 0.01, −0.04, p = 0.95; the median BMD reduction for femoral neck: 0.008, 0.005, −0.003, p = 0.34). Conclusions: Serum uric acid level is not associated with BMD in postmenopausal women.

Background: The association of hyperuricemia with various cardiovascular risk factors has often led to the debate of whether hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for essential hypertension (HTN).  The current study was conducted to see the relationship between serum uric acid and essential HTN in Bangladeshi adults.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, conducted in a tertiary hospital of Bangladesh, 155 patients with essential hypertension (newly detected or on treatment) aged ≥18 years and 100 age-sex matched normotensive subjects were investigated. Serum uric acid, plasma glucose, serum creatinine, and lipid profile were measured in all in fasting samples.Results: The frequency of hyperuricemia was higher in the hypertensive group in comparison to the normotensive control group (29.7% vs. 6.0%, p<0.001). Serum uric acid level was higher in the hypertensive subjects than the controls (6.10±0.88 vs. 5.38±0.54 mg/dL, mean±SD, p<0.001). In the hypertensive group, subjects with stage II HTN had higher serum uric acid than those with stage I HTN (6.46±0.83 vs. 5.72±0.78 mg/dL, mean±SD, p<0.001). In the hypertensive group, uric acid level showed significant positive correlations with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure though in the control group uric acid showed such correlation with systolic BP only.Conclusion: Patients with essential hypertension had higher serum uric acid compared to normotensive controls; uric acid level showed positive correlations with systolic and diastolic BP in the hypertensive subjects.

Background: Serum uric acid is a relatively insoluble metabolite of purine metalolism which is mainly secreted by the kidneys and the rate is dependant on renal blood flow . It increases in preeclampsia and studies show it may be marker of severe preeclampsia. Methods and materials: This cross sectional study was conducted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital in eclampsia ward of gynae & Obs department during the period from January 2010 to December 2011 with the objective to determine the serum uric acid level in preeclampsia, to compare the serum uric acid level between mild and sever preeclampsia and to find out any relationship of the serum uric acid level with hypertension in preeclampsia. The study group composed of 92 diagnosed case of preeclampsia patient. Out of the 92 cases, 42 had mild preeclampsia (group-A) and 50 had severe preeclampsia (group B). Result: The results of the study showed that the mean serum uric acid level was significantly higher in severe preeclampsia (6.91+1.02) compared to mild preeclampsia (4.99 + 0.80) and there is a positive and significant relationship of serum uric acid level with severity of hypertension in preeclampsia (p<.0001). Conclusion: There is significant association between serum uric acid level and severity of hypertension in Preeclampsia. Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2017; Vol. 32(2) : 67-72

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.

Abstract: Diseases caused by high uric acid levels are still commonly found in societies world wide. There is a correlation between uric acid level and increased body mass index (BMI). Higher body mass index in this case overweight and obesity is associated with higher risk of insulin resistance and excessive leptin production which may contribute to hyperuricemia. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of serum uric acid level among students with a BMI of ≥23 kg/m2 at Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were obtained by using total sampling method. There were 53 respondents that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that there were 48 respondents (90.6%) whose serum uric acid levels were within normal limits, one respondent (1.9%) with hyperuricemia, and four respondents (7.5%) with hypouricemia. Conclusion: The majority of respondents had uric acid level within normal limit.Keywords: serum uric acid, body mass index, students Abstrak: Penyakit yang disebabkan akibat tingginya kadar asam urat masih banyak diderita oleh masyarakat dunia sekarang ini.
