Serum Uric Acid and Cardiovascular Mortality

Serum uric acid and cardiovascular disease.

Associations of serum uric acid with cardiovascular events and mortality in moderate chronic kidney disease.

BACKGROUND It is unclear whether the presence of kidney disease modifies the associations of uric acid with cardiovascular events and death. METHODS In the limited access, public use Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) database, associations of serum uric acid levels with cardiovascular events and death were analysed using a parametric proportional hazards model and the modification of...

Significance of serum uric acid levels on the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

OBJECTIVE To assess the associations between serum uric acid (SUA) level and mortality. METHODS The study included 354 110 subjects without a history of gout and whose SUA levels were tested at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% CIs for mortality in six predefined SUA strata (≤0.17, 0.18-0.29, 0.30-0.41, 0.42-0.53, 0.54-0....

Serum uric acid and mortality risk among maintenance hemodialysis patients

the general population has changed since the 1950s [1]. Hyperuricemia was originally considered to be a consequence of renal insufficiency and associated with a variety of cardiovascular diseases, and several studies suggested that hyperuricemia can cause hypertension, renal insufficiency and metabolic syndrome. However, the role of serum uric acid remains unclear in the maintenance hemodialysi...

Serum sialic acid concentration and cardiovascular mortality.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether serum sialic acid concentration may be used to predict short and long term cardiovascular mortality. DESIGN Prospective study on all men and women who had their serum sialic acid concentration measured as part of a general health survey in 1964 or in 1965. All were followed up for an average of 20.5 years. SETTING Geographical part of the county of Värmland, S...
