Uric acid has ever been considered as one of contrast induced acute kidney injury’s risk factors. Atorvastatin and probucol can both improve contrast induced acute kidney injury separately. This prospective study is to assess their effect on reducing serum uric acid level and contrast induced acute kidney injury during perioperative period of interventional procedure. On the basis of different doses of atorvastatin and probucol, 208 cases admitted for coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention were randomly classified into standard combined group (S-C group), intensive combined group (I-C group), and intensive atorvastatin group (I-A group). Patients’ blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and serum uric acid were measured and estimated glomerular filtration rate was evaluated 24 hours before and after the procedure. After procedure, blood urea nitrogen in all the three groups decreased; Scr of S-C group and I-A group increased significantly, while estimated glomerular filtration decreased in the S-C group (P<0.05); serum uric acid in S-C group and I-C group decreased significantly (P<0.05). Combination treatment of atorvastatin and probucol before intervention could reduce perioperative serum uric acid level; meanwhile, the intensive combined treatment can improve the contrast induced acute kidney injury. The result was the same for hypertensive patients.

Abstract Background: To clarify the risk factors associated with NAFLD and further clarify the correlation between uric acid level and NAFLD by analyzing the correlation between NAFLD and different metabolic factors.Methods: Datas were obtained from subjects who underwent health examination in the Health promotion centre of Sir Run Run Shaw hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2016 to December 2017.The diagnosis of NAFLD was according to the clinical diagnosis of the Guidelines.Statistical analyses were performed using R software.Results: 79492 subjects were analyzed. 56680(71.3%) participants did not have NAFLD, 22812(28.7%) participants had NAFLD. Male, age, BMI, high blood pressure, central obesity, high glycosylated hemoglobin, high serum uric acid, high triglyceride, high total cholesterol, high low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), abnormal liver function were risk factors of NAFLD, however, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level was another risk factor of NAFLD.OR value suggested serum uric acid was a robust risk factor for NAFLD in all subgroups.In male group, AUC was 0.656 (95%CI: 0.651-0.661), the optimal diagnostic threshold was 395.5 mol/L, the sensitivity was 61.9%, the specificity was 61.1%, and the yoden index was 0.23. In female group, AUC was 0.716 (95%CI: 0.708-0.724), the optimal diagnostic threshold was 294.5 mol/L, sensitivity was 67.7%, specificity was 64.5%, and the Jordan index was 0.32.Conclusions: Our study suggested that there was a close correlation between serum uric acid level and NAFLD.Uric acid levels was a key risk factor for NAFLD.The diagnosis of fatty liver in patients can be preliminarily determined by detecting uric acid level.Contributions to the literature：1. The purpose of this study was to clarify the risk factors associated with NAFLD and further clarify the correlation between uric acid level and NAFLD by analyzing the correlation between NAFLD and different metabolic factors in the physical examination population.2. There was a close correlation between serum uric acid level and NAFLD.Uric acid levels was a key risk factor for NAFLD.3. The diagnosis of fatty liver in patients can be preliminarily determined by detecting uric acid level.

Objective: Hyperuricemia is a metabolic problem that has become increasingly common worldwide over the past several decades. Its prevalence is increased in both advanced and developing countries including Yemen. The aim of this cross sectional study was to investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia in sample of Yemeni adult individual and its relationship to certain cardiovascular risk factors namely obesity, hypertension, serum glucose, total cholesterol, high serum triglyceride, Low High Density Lipoprotein (HDL-C) and high Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL-C). Methodology: A sample of 600 adult Yemeni people aged equal or over 18 years was randomly chosen to represent the population living in Sanaa City during a period of two years from April 2017 to August 2018. All the study groups undergo full clinical history and examination includes measurement of BP and BMI, WC and the following laboratory investigation (FBS, Basal serum uric acid level, total cholesterol, serum TG, HDL and LDL). Results: The prevalence of hyperuricemia in this study was 8.8% (11,6% male and 6.4% female). The serum uric acid level in this study was significantly correlated with age, Waist Circumference (WC), SBP, DBP, FBS, T-cholesterol, TG and LDL but not with HDL. Conclusion: There is strong relationship between serum uric acid level and other cardiovascular risk factors.

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.
