Contribution of polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV cluster to hyperlipidaemia in patients with gout.

BACKGROUND Studies have shown that hyperuricaemia is independently related to the insulin resistance syndrome and that polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV cluster are also related to insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence of polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein AI-CIII-AIV cluster in persons with gout and to determine whether these polymorphisms contribute to the pat...

Secondary hyperlipidaemia.

The secondary hyperlipidaemias occur remarkably frequently, and the underlying cause of high serum lipid levels will often be missed if it is not actively sought. Diagnosis is important because the lipid abnormality responds to treatment of the primary disorder in most cases; notable exceptions to this, however, are the hyperlipidaemias associated with gout and chronic renal failure. The condit...
