Background: Previous studies showed that higher serum uric acid levels increased the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but moderate alcohol consumption decreased it. The comparative importance of serum uric acid levels and habitual alcohol consumption as risk factors for CKD remain undefined. We therefore evaluated the relationship of baseline serum uric acid level in combination with daily alcohol consumption to the incidence of CKD. Methods: A prospective cohort study of 9,116 middle-aged nondiabetic ­Japanese men without CKD nor proteinuria who were not taking antihypertensive medications nor urate-lowering medications at entry. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. We investigated the relationship of baseline serum uric acid level in combination with daily alcohol consumption to the incidence of CKD during an 11-year observation period. Daily alcohol consumption was classified into 4 groups: nondrinkers, light drinkers (0.1–23.0 g ethanol/day), moderate drinkers (23.1–46.0 g ethanol/day), and heavy drinkers (≥46.1 g ethanol/day). Cox proportional hazards models were used in multivariate analysis. Results: During the 79,361 person-years follow-up period, a total of 1,230 subjects developed CKD. In multivariate models, higher serum uric acid levels increased risk of CKD; and moderate daily alcohol consumption decreased the risk. Multiple-adjusted hazard ratios of CKD were 1.38 (95% CI 1.11–1.70), 1.58 (95% CI 1.28–1.95), 2.27 (95% CI 1.86–2.77), and 3.12 (95% CI 2.56–3.81) for quintile 2, quintile 3, quintile 4, and quintile 5 of serum uric acid levels, respectively, compared with quintile 1, and that for moderate drinkers was 0.55 (95% CI 0.46–0.66) compared with nondrinkers. In the joint analysis of alcohol consumption and serum uric acid, moderate drinkers with the lowest tertile of serum uric acid levels had the lowest risk of CKD, but nondrinkers with the highest tertile of serum uric acid levels had the highest risk of CKD. Conclusions: Serum uric acid level and daily alcohol consumption were independently associated with the risk of CKD. Nondrinkers with the highest serum uric acid level had the highest risk of CKD.

Background: To Study Serum Uric Acid level elevation in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy. Methods: 50 Patients diagnosed as having Pre-eclampsia with age between 18-37 years and 50 controls with similar age group. Results: The mean serum uric acid level in control group was 3.41 ± 0.62 and in patient 7.01 ± 0.58 which was statistically significant (p =0.001). Conclusion: Serum uric acid levels were significantly higher in preeclampsia could be a useful indicator of fetal complication in preeclampsia patients. Keywords: serum uric acid, preeclampsia, laboratory.

AbstractWe performed a retrospective cohort study of 19,237 individuals who underwent at least three health screenings with follow-up periods of over 5 years to find a routinely checked serum marker that predicts lung function decline. Using linear regression models to analyze associations between the rate of decline in the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and the level of 10 serum markers (calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, total cholesterol, total protein, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, and C-reactive protein) measured at two different times (at the first and third health screenings), we found that an increased uric acid level was significantly associated with an accelerated FEV1 decline (P = 0.0014 and P = 0.037, respectively) and reduced FEV1 predicted % (P = 0.0074 and P = 8.64 × 10–7, respectively) at both visits only in non-smoking individuals. In addition, we confirmed that accelerated forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC ratio declines were observed in non-smoking individuals with increased serum uric acid levels using linear mixed models. The serum uric acid level thus potentially predicts an acceleration in lung function decline in a non-smoking general population.

Background: Hyperuricaemia is a metabolic marker of decreased renal function in chronic kidney disease (CKD). It increases cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and mortality risk in patients with CKD. Objectives: To estimate serum uric acid level in different stages of CKD. Methods: The present study was a cross sectional analytical study and was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2012 to June 2013 on 300 participants. They were divided into group A (150 control healthy participants) and group B (150 diagnosed cases of CKD). Serum creatinine and serum uric acid levels were measured by auto analyzer in Department of Pathology, Dhaka Medical College. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated from serum creatinine level by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. For statistical analysis unpaired Student “t” test, one way ANOVA test, Bonferroni test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) test and Linear regression were performed using SPSS for windows version 20. Result: In this study, serum uric acid level was significantly (p<0.05) higher and eGFR were significantly lower in study groups than that of control group. There was gradual rise of serum uric acid level in CKD subjects from stage I to V. A significant inverse correlation was observed between serum uric acid level and eGFR. Serum uric acid level increased 0.048 mg/dl for each ml/min/1.73m2 decrease of eGFR. Conclusion: This study concludes that serum uric acid level increases gradually in accordance with the higher stages of CKD. There is a negative correlation of serum uric acid with eGFR in all stages of CKD which was statistically significant (p<0.05). Screening of serum uric acid level in different stages of CKD may be beneficial for assessing renal damage as well as prediction of co-morbidities associated with it.
