Gout and Hyperuricemia in Chronic Kidney Disease

Hyperuricemia and correlates in coronary heart disease.

Serum Uric Acid (SUA), cholesterol, Ponderal Index (P1) and smoking behaviour were studied in 27 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and 30 sex, physique and ethnic group matched controls. Mean SUA was significantly raised (P < 0.01) in the coronary grolup. Mean serum cholesterol, although within normal range in both the groups, was higher in the coronary group than in controls (P < 0.05...

associations between hyperuricemia and chronic kidney disease: a review

context in human beings, uric acid is the poorly soluble circulating end product of the purine nucleotide metabolism. a reduction in the glomerular filtration rate (gfr) contributes to hyperuricemia, which is frequently observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (ckd). evidence acquisition hyperuricemia is defined as a serum uric acid level > 7.0 mg/dl in males and > 6.0 mg/dl in females,...
