Objectives: Prehypertension frequently progresses to hypertension and is associated with cardiovascular diseases, stroke, excess morbidity and mortality. However, the identical risk factors for developing hypertension from prehypertension are not clarified. This study is conducted to clarify the risks. Methods: We conducted a retrospective 5-year cohort study using the data from 3,584 prehypertensive Japanese adults (52.1±11.0 years, 2,081 men) in 2004 and reevaluated it 5 years later. We calculated the cumulative incidences of hypertension over 5 years, then, we detected the risk factors and calculated odds ratios (ORs) for developing hypertension by crude analysis and after adjustments for age, sex, body mass index, smoking and drinking habits, baseline systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, and serum uric acid. We also evaluated whether serum uric acid (hyperuricemia) provided an independent risk for developing hypertension. Results: The cumulative incidence of hypertension from prehypertension over 5 years was 25.3%, but there were no significant differences between women and men (24.4% vs 26.0%, p=0.28). The cumulative incidence of hypertension in subjects with hyperuricemia (n=726) was significantly higher than those without hyperuricemia (n=2,858) (30.7% vs 24.0%, p<0.001). After multivariable adjustments, the risk factors for developing hypertension from prehypertension were age (OR per 1 year increased: 1.023; 95% CI, 1.015-1.032), women (OR versus men: 1.595; 95% CI, 1.269-2.005), higher body mass index (OR per 1 kg/m 2 increased: 1.051; 95% CI 1.021-1.081), higher baseline systolic blood pressure (OR per 1 mmHg increased: 1.072; 95% CI, 1.055-1.089) and diastolic blood pressure (OR per 1 mmHg increased: 1.085; 95% CI, 1.065-1.106), and higher serum uric acid (OR pre 1 mg/dL increased: 1.149; 95% CI, 1.066-1.238), but not smoking and drinking habits, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney diseases. Conclusions: Increased serum uric acid is an independent risk factor for developing hypertension from prehypertension. Intervention studies are needed to clarify whether the treatments for hyperuricemia in prehypertensive subjects are useful.

Background: The role of uric acid in the progression of prediabetes to diabetes has been known. Serum uric acid has been shown to beassociated with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. However, conflicting data exist asregards the serum uric acid (UA) levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus, which are associated with risk factors andcomplications.Material & Methods: The present study was designed to look for any association of serum uric acid with hypertension in type 2diabetes mellitus, taking into consideration the relevant clinical, biochemical and the anthropometric data. 110 patientswith type 2 male diabetes mellitus as case and 100 healthy malecontrols were included in this study.Results: This study shows that there were significant differences in mean of age, duration of DM, exercise time, waist hip ratio, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure within case and control but no significant differences of mean BMI was found between and control. The mean age, duration of DM, exercise time, waist hip ratio, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure and BMI were (51.83±9.911 years, 6.87±5.54 years, 1.94±.831 hours, .92±.03, 140±6.75 mm of Hg,90±2.41 mm of Hg and 25.43±3.19 Kg/m2 respectively), where as in controls these were (44.81±9.66 yrs, 00 years, 1.12±.327 hours, .91±.03, 130±1.28 mm of Hg, 80±6.18 mm of Hg and 24.96±3.02 Kg/m2 respectively). This table also shows that significant differences in mean of FBS, ABF, HbA1C and S. Uric acid between case and control, but there was no significant differences of mean TG, Cholesterol, HDL and LDL. The mean of FBS, ABF, HbA1C and S. Uric acid among the cases were (8.19±2.48 mmol/L, 11.29±3.47 mmol/L, 7.96±6.04 mg%, 189.72±111.36 mg/dl, 179±43 mg/dl, 38.38±13.77 mg/dl, 102.10±35.79 mg/dl and 8.39±2.61 mg/dl respectively, on the other hand among the control these were 5.91±1.13 mmol/L, 9.19±1.95 mmol/L, 5.93±1.01 mg%, 200±104.49 mg/dl, 183±42.25 mg/dl, 38.14±5.52 mg/dl, 110±33.23 mg/dl and 5.14±.84 mg/dl respectively.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 9, No. 2: Jul 2018, P 96-101

The pathogenesis of nephrolithiasis in Cushing’s syndrome is still not completely clarified. The current study aimed at investigating prevalence of nephrolithiasis and role of different lithogenic factors in Cushing’s disease (CD). Forty-six CD patients (24 with active and 22 with cured disease) and 46 sex- and age-matched controls entered the study. Body mass index, blood pressure, fasting glucose and insulin, serum and urinary creatinine, urea, uric acid, electrolytes, and cystine, urinary volume, pH, oxalate, and citrate levels, and renal ultrasonography (US) were performed in all patients and controls. Nephrolithiasis was found in 50% of active patients, 27.3% of cured patients, and 6.5% of controls (P &lt; 0.001). Compared with controls, patients with active disease had a significantly increased prevalence of obesity, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercalciuria, hypocitraturia, and hyperuricosuria, significantly higher levels of serum and urinary cystine, urinary creatinine, urea, uric acid, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and oxalate, significantly lower levels of urinary citrate levels. Compared with controls, patients cured from CD had a significantly increased prevalence of obesity, systemic arterial hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, whereas urinary citrate was significantly decreased. At multivariate analysis, a significantly increased risk to develop kidney stones was independently associated with urinary excretion of uric acid (odds ratio = 1.6, confidence interval = 1.0–2.5) and systemic arterial blood pressure (odds ratio = 2.6, confidence interval = 1.1–6.6). In conclusion, patients with active CD have an increased prevalence of nephrolithiasis compared with general population, which decreases but not disappears in patients successfully cured from the disease. This complication is likely caused by the synergic effect of different hypercortisolism-dependent metabolic and hemodynamic abnormalities, among which systemic arterial hypertension and excessive urinary uric acid excretion seem to play a pivotal role.

Abstract Background Serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with many cardiovascular risk factors, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) and subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the relationship of SUA with carotid atherosclerosis remains controversial. We aimed to investigate whether elevated SUA levels are associated with a high risk of carotid atherosclerosis and MetS in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods This cross-sectional study was performed with a sample of 1,947 hospitalized patients with T2DM. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and carotid artery plaques (CAP) were measured via Doppler ultrasound. Results Uric acid levels were negatively associated with HbA1C, eGFR, and HDL-C (all P < 0.001) and positively associated with WBC, BMI, ACR, creatinine, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure (all P < 0.001). After adjusting for multiple potential confounders, the risks were substantially higher for MetS in the highest quartile of SUA levels (odds ratio: 2.91, 95% confidence interval: 1.54–5.51, P = 0.003 for trend) than in the lowest quartile of SUA levels. Furthermore, a significant increase was observed in the prevalence of overweight/obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia across the SUA quartiles independent of confounders. However, no significant association was found between SUA quartile with the presence of carotid atherosclerosis. Conclusions In patients with T2DM, SUA levels were closely associated with MetS and its components but not with carotid atherosclerosis.

BACKGROUND Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of mortality due to its complications such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke and end stage renal disease (ESRD). Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter-2 inhibitors is a new class of oral hypoglycaemics which impart additional benefits primarily on heart and kidney. The most commonly used drugs in this class include Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin. However, these drugs are associated with certain adverse effects. This review aims to appraise the extra-glycaemic benefits and adverse effect profile of SGLT-2 inhibitors so as to minimize the morbidity and mortality associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Thorough literature search was made using search engines like PubMed, Cochrane library, Medline and Google scholar to retrieve articles pertaining to extra glycaemic benefits and adverse effects of SGLT2i. RESULTS Majority of studies like CANVAS, EMPA-REG and DECLARE-TIMI done on Canagliflozin, Empagliflozin and Dapagliflozin respectively have concluded that these drugs possess additional benefits like reduced risk of heart failure, positive effects on kidney functions, favourable effects on body weight, reduced levels of uric acid and reduction in blood pressure. However, these drugs are associated with certain adverse effects like increased risk of genital and urinary tract infection. CONCLUSIONS The extra-glycaemic benefits of SGLT2i on heart, kidney and other parameters like body weight, uric acid and blood pressure have been proven by a number of studies conducted over several years. Nevertheless, these drugs are associated with certain adverse effects like increased risk of genital and urinary tract infection which can be mitigated by maintaining hydration, perineal hygiene and educating the patient.

Abstract. Vitamin B12 deficiency may have indirect cardiovascular effects in addition to hematological and neuropsychiatric symptoms. It was shown that the monocyte count-to-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) is a novel cardiovascular marker. In this study, the aim was to evaluate whether MHR was high in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency and its relationship with cardiometabolic risk factors. The study included 128 patients diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency and 93 healthy controls. Patients with vitamin B12 deficiency had significantly higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), MHR, C-reactive protein (CRP) and uric acid levels compared with the controls (median 139 vs 115 mmHg, p < 0.001; 80 vs 70 mmHg, p < 0.001; 14.2 vs 9.5, p < 0.001; 10.2 vs 4 mg/dl p < 0.001; 6.68 vs 4.8 mg/dl, p < 0.001 respectively). The prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy was higher in vitamin B12 deficiency group (43.8%) than the control group (8.6%) (p < 0.001). In vitamin B12 deficiency group, a positive correlation was detected between MHR and SBP, CRP and uric acid (p < 0.001 r:0.34, p < 0.001 r:0.30, p < 0.001 r:0.5, respectively) and a significant negative correlation was detected between MHR and T-CHOL, LDL, HDL and B12 (p < 0.001 r: −0.39, p < 0.001 r: −0.34, p < 0.001 r: −0.57, p < 0.04 r: −0.17, respectively). MHR was high in vitamin B12 deficiency group, and correlated with the cardiometabolic risk factors in this group, which were SBP, CRP, uric acid and HDL. In conclusion, MRH, which can be easily calculated in clinical practice, can be a useful marker to assess cardiovascular risk in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency.
