AIM: The study was planned to evaluate the association of C - reactive protein with Serum Uric Acid and Bicarbonate Level in COPD. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the present study total 100 (n=100) patients diagnosed for COPD, were enrolled for the study. Patients with neoplastic pathologies, pneumonia and Liver or renal diseases, pregnant and lactating females were excluded from the study. RESULT: The mean level of Serum Bicarbonate, C-reactive protein and uric acid were signicantly higher in COPD patients. A signicant association was observed (p ≤ 0.0001). CONCLUSION: In the present study higher bicarbonate levels that could be the individual biomarker which can assess the respiratory acidosis and CRP and Uric Acid levels judges the severity the disease.

AbstractIntroductioHyperuricaemia is associated with traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as type 2 diabetes or dyslipidaemia and a higher mortality.MethodsOut of 528 congenital heart disease patients, 329 patients, including 190 male and 139 female patients, in whom uric acid determination was performed, were studied and followed up to determine survival.ResultsMale congenital heart disease patients with high serum uric acid concentrations (>7 mg/dl) showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher body mass index, serum creatinine, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides, and C-reactive protein concentrations than those male congenital heart disease patients with lower serum uric acid levels (≤7 mg/dl). Meanwhile, female congenital heart disease patients with higher serum uric acid concentrations (>5.7 mg/dl) were significantly (p < 0.05) younger, more hypoxaemic, more obese, and with higher C-reactive protein and N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels than those female congenital heart disease patients with lower serum uric acid concentrations (≤5.7 mg/dl). During a median follow-up of 90 months, 16 out of 528 congenital heart disease patients died – 14 patients of cardiac origin and two patients of non-cardiac origin – of whom 10 were hypoxaemic. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed no significant differences in mortality between male and female congenital heart disease patients with high and low serum uric acid level concentrations.ConclusionsHypoxaemia, body mass index, and C-reactive protein concentrations are higher in hyperuricaemic congenital heart disease patients, although no significant differences were seen in mortality between congenital heart disease patients with high and low serum uric acid concentrations.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND Hepcidin is an important regulator of iron homeostasis. OBJECTIVES This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the association between hepcidin and components of metabolic syndrome in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). DESIGN AND SETTING 103 CKD patients and 59 healthy volunteers were included in the study from the University Hospital. METHODS Serum hepcidin levels were measured by enyzme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. As for the study parameters, age, sex, body mass index, renal diseases, serum biochemistry, complete blood count, iron and total iron-binding capacity, ferritin, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), C- reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were evaluated. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 58.63 ± 11.8 years. Hepcidin level was significantly associated with hypertension and higher uric acid levels (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between hepcidin and urea, uric acid, creatinine, ferritin, CRP, ESR, phosphorus, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), proteinuria and albuminuria in 24-hour urine collection. A negative correlation was found between hepcidin and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hemoglobin, hematocrit, calcium, 25 OH vitamin D, pH, and bicarbonate levels. CONCLUSION Hepcidin, a well-known hormone regulator of iron metabolism, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome in patients with CKD, and further studies might delineate in-depth its potential as a promising early marker in these patients.

BACKGROUND Relationship between serum uric acid and cardiovascular system has been recognised since years. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. The role of uric acid as a risk factor for vascular disease and acute stroke is controversial and there is little information about it.1 It is unclear as to whether high uric acid concentrations promote or protect against the development of cerebrovascular disease, or simply acts as a passive marker of increased risk. As serum hs-CRP is an established risk factor for stroke, its positive correlation with serum uric acid levels would suggest that high serum uric acid could predict stroke risk. Also, it would prove to be a more cost-effective investigative tool in our present set up. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we assessed 100 patients admitted with acute stroke in Victoria and Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital from October 2016 to November 2018. Clinical records, routine investigations, radiological imaging, serum uric acid and hs-CRP of the patients were investigated. RESULTS Majority of the patients (33 %) belonged to the age group of > 70 yrs., followed by 61 - 70 yrs. (26 %). 69 % of the patients were males and 31 % were females. 67 % of them were hypertensive and 32 % were diabetic. 91 % had an hs-CRP level of > 3.0 mg / L and 8 % had hs-CRP levels between 1.0 and 3.0 mg / L. None of the female patients had a serum uric acid value > 6.5 mg / dL and none of the male patients had a uric acid level of > 7.0 mg / dL. There was a correlation between serum uric acid levels and serum hs-CRP levels in patients ≤ 50 yrs. of age. There was no correlation between serum hs-CRP levels and serum uric acid levels in patients more than 50 yrs. of age. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that stroke is most common in persons > 70 yrs. of age and is more common in males compared to females. Hypertension is an independent risk factor for stroke. hs-CRP is a well-established risk marker for stroke, being raised in majority of stroke patients. Serum uric acid is not raised in all patients of acute stroke. So, it cannot be used as a risk marker for stroke. KEY WORDS hs-CRP, Serum Uric Acid, Acute Stroke

Background: The SYNTAX score (SXscore), an anatomical-based scoring tool reflecting the complexity of coronary anatomy, has been associated with the mortality and prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Clinical SYNTAX score (CSS), incorporating clinical factors further augmented the utility of the SXscore to longer-term risk. C-reactive protein (CRP) is related to SXscore. Serum uric acid (UA) is associated with atherosclerosis and CAD. However, serum uric acid combined with CRP may better predict the SXscore and CSS. Methods: A total of 208 patients (mean age 57.82 ± 9.39 years) with chest pain were included in this study. All selected subjects underwent coronary artery angiography and blood test. The relationship between serum UA, CRP and SXscore, and CSS were analyzed. Results: Age and CRP had a positive correlation with SXs and CSS. DM and fasting glucose correlated with SXscore and CSS respectively. In multivariate regression, serum UA, age, fasting glucose, and body mass index (BMI) were significant discriminant factors of high CSS. The predictive accuracy of CRP for SXscore >0 and high CSS using receiver operator characteristic curves was set at the cut off point of 0.205 mg/dL and 0.145 mg/dL respectively, (sensitivity 70.9% and 98%, specialty 48% and 23.2%). Conclusion: Serum CRP is correlated with SXscore and CSS, serum UA is independently associated with CSS. CRP predicts high CSS at a lower level than it predicts SXscore. Thus, serum CRP combined with serum UA may be useful to predict SXscore and CSS.
