Hyperuricemia is a biomarker of early mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Xin Zhang, Lijie Liu, Rui Liang, Shoude Jin Department of Respiratory Medicine, Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Peopleâ s Republic of ChinaAbstract: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often at high risk of early death. Identification of prognostic biomarkers for COPD may aid in improving the survival by providing earthy strengthened therapy for high-risk patients. In the present study, we investigated the prognostic role of hyperuricemia at baseline on the prognosis of patients with COPD. Thirty-four patients with COPD with hyperuricemia were matched (1:2) to 68 patients with COPD without hyperuricemia and of similar age and sex. Data from those patients with COPD were evaluated retrospectively. The role of hyperuricemia on mortality was first analyzed using the Kaplanâ Meier method, and multivariate Cox regression model was then used to

Objective To study the role of Trp64Arg polymorphism of the ADRB3 gene in the risk of developing hyperuricemia in 1051 subjects from southern Spain, with a followup of 6 years. The inclusion of plasma levels of uric acid as a diagnostic criterion to define the metabolic syndrome is under discussion. Genes responsible for insulin resistance could contribute to the development of hyperuricemia. Previous cross-sectional studies have suggested ADRB3 as a possible candidate gene in the development of hyperuricemia and insulin resistance. Methods A prospective, population-based, cohort study of 1051 persons examined in 1997-98 and reassessed at a second examination 6 years later. The metabolic phenotype was assessed at baseline and again at the followup. Insulin resistance was measured by homeostasis model assessment. The Trp64Arg polymorphism of ADRB3 was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Subjects were considered normouricemic if their serum uric acid levels were ≤ 7 mg/dl for men or ...

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence and clinical significance of associated metabolic alterations [dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus (DM), and hyperuricemia] in a large series of unselected patients with primary Sjögrens syndrome (SS). METHODS: We analyzed 254 consecutive patients with primary SS who had a complete analytical followup study for at least 5 consecutive years. The control group consisted of 254 age and sex-matched patients without systemic autoimmune diseases consecutively followed during the same period in a primary care center. RESULTS: In comparison with controls, patients with primary SS showed a higher frequency of dyslipidemia (47% vs 33%; p = 0.002), DM (28% vs 18%; p = 0.006), and hyperuricemia (9% vs 4%; p = 0.007). The mean age at SS diagnosis was 10 years greater in patients with DM (p , 0.001) and hyperuricemia (p = 0.009). Hypercholesterolemia was associated with a lower frequency of immunological markers such as anti-Ro/SSA antibodies (p = 0.001), anti-La/SSB ...

Chronic stress is certainly from the metabolic syndrome closely, diabetes, thromboembolism and hyperuricemia, however the mechanisms remain elusive. of NADPH oxidase subunits and downregulation of antioxidant enzymes. 78824-30-3 IC50 RT-PCR and Immunohistochemistry evaluation also demonstrated that restraint tension induced VAT monocyte deposition and proinflammatory adipokine creation, leading to decreased insulin induction and awareness of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and tissues element in VAT. Treatment with febuxostat, a powerful XO inhibitor, suppressed stress-induced ROS VAT and creation irritation, leading to improvement of serum UA amounts, insulin awareness, and prothrombotic propensity. Our outcomes claim that tension perturbs UA and blood sugar metabolic process, and promotes prothrombotic position, which XO inhibition by febuxostat could be a potential therapy for stress-related disorders. Launch The partnership between tension and hyperuricemia continues to be discussed for an ...

In patients with T1D, PUA levels are linked with early renal function loss (3,7). Although the association between PUA levels and renal risk is compelling, studies measuring the effects of PUA-lowering therapies on renal outcomes focused on older, hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes and established chronic kidney disease. Our study examined the effect of PUA lowering on renal hemodynamic and vascular function in young, normotensive patients with T1D who had normal renal function and normal baseline PUA levels. Our overall aim was to determine whether there is a physiological rationale for PUA lowering in the presence of uncomplicated T1D. We used FBX rather than allopurinol as a physiological probe because of the greater potency and better safety profile of this agent compared with older agents. Furthermore, because of its mechanism of action, FBX does not stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species, which may limit the vascular protective effects of allopurinol (30).. Although ...

Ganoderma applanatum (G. applanatum) dispels wind to eliminate dampness and exhibited nephron- and liver-protective effects as noted in Chinese herbal classic literature; it might also affect hyperuricemia. Therefore, we examined the hypouricemia effects and mechanisms underlying G. applanatum on chemical-induced hyperuricemia in mice. Ethanol (GAE) and water (GAW) extracts were prepared by extracting G. applanatum in ethanol (GAE), followed by bathing the remains in water to yield GAW. GAE and GAW were administered orally at different doses to hyperuricemia mice, while allopurinol and benzbromarone served as positive controls. Both GAE and GAW showed remarkable hypouricemia activities, rendering a substantial decline in the SUA (serum uric acid) level in hyperuricemia control (P

Hyperuricemia has been reported to be associated with the development of postoperative acute kidney injury (pAKI). However, it remains underdetermined whether hyperuricemia treatment could decrease the potential risk of pAKI. Here, we investigated this hypothesis among hyperuricemia patients with previously normal renal function by performing a retrospective database analysis. The study screened 18,169 patients, and were examined preoperative serum creatinine, uric acid, and postoperative serum creatinine. Eight hundred thirty-six patients were finally analyzed for the study, of whom 232 were in the treatment group and 604 were in the non-treatment control group. After adjustment for multi-covariates including baseline (pre-treatment) serum uric acid (SUA) levels, the incidence of pAKI in the treatment group (9.05%; 95% CI 6.04-12.1%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (14.2%; 95% CI 11.2-17.2%). On the other hand, further adjusting for preoperative SUA levels, there was no

Our study aimed to explore the clinical significance of serum uric acid level in a large cohort of patients with treated hypertension from a large urban environment. We found no relationship between longitudinal change in BP and serum uric acid level in men or women but did find a significant relationship between uric acid level and change in renal function in both sexes. We found no association between serum uric acid and mortality from any or cardiovascular causes in men but found women in the highest 2 quartiles of serum uric acid level to have significantly increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.. Recent clinical trials suggest that uric acid has a role in the development of hypertension, at least in adolescents and adolescents with obesity.11,12 This is supported by epidemiological data,20 including studies in adult populations.1-3 Our study included only adults with a known diagnosis of hypertension attending a specialist hypertension service.

Results 71 mean took part, mean age 47.2±4.4 years. Aerobic fitness index of lactate threshold was inversely correlated with uric acid (r=−0.26, p=0.033), but this became non-significant after adjustment for potential confounding factors (age, BMI, drinking). Light-intensity PA was inversely associated with BMI and waist circumference, even after adjustment for age and drinking (BMI β=−0.543, p=0.023; waist circumference β=−1.333, p=0.016). Both light and vigorous intensity PAs were not related to uric acid level, whereas moderate intensity PA was inversely correlated with the circulating uric acid and this remained significant, even after adjustment for age, BMI, and drinking (β=−0.222, p=0.036). ...

An article reviews the current concepts of pathogenesis and management of gout and hyperuricemia. Available evidence suggests that complications of hyperuricemia, including arterial hypertension and metabolic syndrome, are partly related to persisting low-grade inflammation. Treatment for gout should include medications that reduce serum uric acid level and inhibit autoinflammation. The authors report a rare case of AA-amyloidosis in patient with chronic gout.

Elevated serum uric acid (sUA) concentrations are common in the general population and are associated with chronic metabolic conditions and adverse clinical outcomes. We evaluated secular trends in the burden of hyperuricaemia from 2006-2014 within the Irish health system. Data from the National Kidney Disease Surveillance Programme was used to determine the prevalence of elevated sUA in adults, age , 18 years, within the Irish health system. Hyperuricaemia was defined as sUA , 416.4 μmol/L in men and , 339.06 μmol/L in women, and prevalence was calculated as the proportion of patients per year with mean sUA levels above sex-specific thresholds. Temporal trends in prevalence were compared from 2006 to 2014 while general estimating equations (GEE) explored variation across calendar years expressed as odds ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence intervals (CI). From 2006 to 2014, prevalence of hyperuricaemia increased from 19.7% to 25.0% in men and from 20.5% to 24.1% in women, P,0.001. The corresponding ...

General: An increase in acute attacks of gout has been reported during the early stages of administration of ZYLOPRIM , even when normal or subnormal serum uric acid levels have been attained. Accordingly, maintenance doses of colchicine generally should be given prophylactically when ZYLOPRIM is begun. In addition, it is recommended that the patient start with a low dose of ZYLOPRIM (100 mg daily) and increase at weekly intervals by 100 mg until a serum uric acid level of 6 mg/dL or less is attained but without exceeding the maximum recommended dose (800 mg per day). The use of colchicine or anti-inflammatory agents may be required to suppress gouty attacks in some cases. The attacks usually become shorter and less severe after several months of therapy. The mobilization of urates from tissue deposits which cause fluctuations in the serum uric acid levels may be a possible explanation for these episodes. Even with adequate therapy with ZYLOPRIM, it may require several months to deplete the uric ...

The values may vary at different labs.. Factors that can contribute to a high uric acid level include a diet high in purines (purines are broken down into uric acid), excess alcohol consumption, renal insufficiency, obesity, underactive thyroid, genetics, endocrine or metabolic conditions like diabetes or acidosis, and certain other diseases.. Certain cancers, chemotherapy agents and other medications, such as diuretics, may also contribute to it.Exercising, fasting and crash dieting may elevate uric acid levels temporarily.. There are some tips and natural remedies that can help reduce and control uric acid levels. In addition, proper diagnosis and treatment by a healthcare professional is a must. Here are the top 10 ways to control uric acid levels.. ...

BACKGROUND: Hyperuricemia is reported to be related to rapid progression of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Allopurinol, a uric acid lowering agent, protects renal progression. However, it is not widely used in patients with CKD because of its serious adverse event. Febuxostat can be alternatively used for patients who are intolerable to allopurinol. We aimed to determine renoprotective effect and urate-lowering effect between the two drugs. METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to assess the effects of febuxostat compared to allopurinol in patients with hyperuricemia ...

Acute renal failure (ARF), induced by either toxins or ischemia, is associated with significant morbidity. The pathogenesis of ARF is complex and is characterized by renal vasoconstriction and oxidative stress in association with tubular and microvascular injury and interstitial inflammation. In many situations, ARF is associated with a rise in serum uric acid as a result of both increased generation and decreased excretion. Although it is widely recognized that markedly elevated levels of uric acid can cause ARF via supersaturation within the tubules with crystallization and intrarenal obstruction (acute urate nephropathy), the possibility that uric acid may affect renal outcomes at concentrations that do not lead to tubular obstruction have not been considered. This article reviews both the salutary and the adverse effects of uric acid on biologic processes and presents the hypothesis that hyperuricemia, particularly if chronic and marked, likely represents a true risk factor for A. ...

Uric acid is a chemical that is naturally created by a healthy body. In normal levels, the presence of uric acid in the blood is acceptable. It occurs when certain foods, medications or substances that are high in purines are broken down. (A purine is a heterocyclic aromatic compound that has a pyrimidine ring and an imidazole ring.) However, if the level of uric acid in the blood becomes elevated, a condition called hyperuricemia occurs, which requires treatment. High levels of uric acid can be caused by eating too many purine-rich foods; by kidney problems that prevent uric acid from being excreted; by certain medications; or by an underlying illness. Treatment involves resolving the underlying illness or treating the hyperuricemia or both.. ...

Whos Affected by Gout?. The prevalence of gout in the U.S. has risen over the last twenty years and now affects 8.3 million (4%) Americans. Gout is more common in men than in women and more prevalent in African-American men than white men. The chances of having gout rises with age, with a peak age of 75. In women, gout attacks usually occur after menopause. Among the U.S. population, about 21% have elevated blood uric acid levels, a condition known as hyperuricemia.

Uric acid (UA) is a natural antioxidant and iron scavenger in the human body, which has been hypothesized to exert an anti-oxidative effect in Parkinsons disease (PD). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum UA levels and freezing of gait (FOG) in PD. A total of 321 Chinese PD patients with fasting serum UA evaluated were included in the cross-sectional study. Demographics, clinical features, and therapeutic regimen were collected. The Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS) III and Hoehn and Yahr (H and Y) stage were used to evaluate the severity of disease, and the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scales were used to assess the cognitive function ...

BACKGROUND The epidemic of cardiovascular diseases in Chile, requires the development of strategies in health promotion and prevention. AIM To assess the prevalence of risk factors for chronic non communicable diseases among workers of a financial company in Metropolitan Santiago. MATERIAL AND METHODS Assessment of 2,225 workers (1,383 males with a median age of 49 years and 842 females with a median age of 43 years). All answered an enquiry about education, medical history, smoking habits and physical activity. Body mass index and blood pressure were measured and a blood sample was obtained to measure blood glucose and lipid levels. Logistic repression models were used to determine the main risk factors for hypertension, diabetes, obesity, hypercholesterolemia and hyperuricemia. RESULTS Sixteen percent of studied subjects were obese, 49% had overweight, 57% had hypercholesterolemia, 28% had high blood pressure, 4% were diabetic, 4% had hyperuricemia, 45% smoked and 83% were sedentary. Each worker

Gout is now recognized as a syndrome with numerous causes rather than as a distinct disease entity. With the recognition of more and more conditions associated with hyperuricemia and gout, the simple classification into primary or idiopathic gout and gout secondary to hemopoietic overactivity has lost its usefulness. A number of patients with hyperuricemia unassociated with any other disease are known to produce excessive quantities of urate-the overproducers-while other clinically similar patients without appreciable renal disease have been shown to excrete less urate than normal-the underexcretors. A further group seems to demonstrate features of both of these defects.. Research over ...

High levels of uric acid can lead to kidney stones or the inflammatory arthritic condition known as gout and is linked with heart and vascular problems and diabetes. However, in a new study, 42% of women treated with uric acid therapy following a stroke had little to no disability after 90 days compared to 29% of women treated with a placebo. Women also had less dead tissue resulting from lack of blood supply after receiving uric acid. Among men, there was essentially no difference between uric acid treatment and placebo.. ...
