Hyperuricemia and Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
HyperuricemiaMetabolic Syndrome1 moreMetabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia were both associated with inflammation, leading to diversities of cardiovascular disease such as left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, but the relationship among these entities remained unclear. The aim of the present study focuses on the association among hyperuricemia, diastolic dysfunction and inflammatory biomarkers in apparently healthy individuals with metabolic syndrome
Study on the Bioavailability of Three Different Prescription Processes of SHR4640 Tablets in Healthy...
Primary GoutHyperuricemiaThe primary objective of the study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of three different prescription processes of SHR4640 tablets in healthy volunteers. The secondary objective of the study is to observe the safety of SHR4640 tablets in healthy subjects.
Post-Authorisation Safety Study of Lesinurad
GoutHyperuricemiaNon-interventional population-based prospective cohort study in multiple databases comparing patients with gout who initiate lesinurad in combination with an existing xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI) (lesinurad+XOI cohort) to a propensity score-matched cohort of similar patients from the same data source who continue treatment with XOI monotherapy (XOI mono cohort). Study will characterize the cardiovascular safety of lesinurad in combination with XOI in patients with gout aged 18+ years compared with similar patients who continue XOI monotherapy. Primary objective: to assess the relative incidence of major adverse cardiac events plus hospitalization for unstable angina (MACE+ events) in patients with gout in both cohorts. Secondary objectives: to describe the characteristics of the cohorts prior to matching; to assess the relative incidence of hospitalisation for acute kidney injury between the matched cohorts; to assess the relative incidence of individual MACE+ components in the matched cohorts.
Purine Metabolism Enzyme SNP to Uric Acid Production
GoutHyperuricemiaDetermine whether a relationship exists between polymorphisms of the genes XDH, HPRT1, and PRPS1 and gout, hyperuricemia, or the dose of xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors to reach a goal serum uric acid of less than 6 mg/dL. This study is observational in nature as no dose adjustment of XO inhibitors will be made by study investigators.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Subjects With Gouty Tophi
HyperuricemiaGoutThe purpose of this study is to determine the reproducibility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the quantitative assessment of tophus volume.
Hyperuricemia and Diabetic Nephropathy
HyperuricemiaDiabetic NephropathiesThe purpose of the study is to detect the effect of treatment of hyperuricemia on eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) as an objective criterion for assessment of progression of diabetic nephropathy in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
The Relationship Among, Serum Uric Acid, Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Metabolic Syndrome
HyperuricemiaHealthyHyperuricemia is associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risks in diverse of the population. Whether the dose-response effects on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and cardiometabolic risks is unclear. The present study is conducted to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid and the prevalence metabolic syndrome and left ventricular hypertrophy.
Prevalence of Hyperuricemia in Pakistan
HyperuricemiaThe prevalence of hyperuricemia has rarely been investigated in developing countries Hyperuricemia, or raised serum uric acid (SUA), is the condition closely associated with gout due to the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in peripheral joints and soft tissues. Hyperuricemia is associated with an increased risk for incident hypertension, independent of traditional hypertension risk factors. This risk appears more pronounced in younger individuals and women. Cross-sectional studies show an association of hyperuricemia with the presence of CKD. Insulin resistance plays a potentially key role in the causal relationship between metabolic syndrome, type 2 Diabetes and hyperuricemia. Furthermore, it is likely that hyperuricemia and insulin resistance share a bidirectional causal effect. The rationale of this study is to determine prevalence of hyperuricemia in Pakistan.
The Long Term Effect of Low Dose Aspirin on Uric Acid in Chinese Patients With Coronary Artery Disease(AURORA)...
Coronary Artery DiseaseHyperuricemiaThe deleterious effects of hyperuricemia (HUA) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) were well established. Aspirin is the most commonly prescribed antiplatelet agent for primary or secondary prophylaxis of CVD. Only a few short-term studies in the elderly suggested low-dose aspirin, e.g., 75-100 mg/day, increases serum urate by reducing urinary uric acid excretion. However, monitoring of renal function is currently not recommended. Little is known about the long-term effect of low dose aspirin on uric acid. The principal aim of this prospective cohort study therefore is to evaluate the renal effects of long-term aspirin (100 mg/d) administration in Chinese patients with coronary artery disease or other CVDs.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia
HyperuricemiaAn observational study to evaluate the prevalence of US changes of gout in the joints and tendons of patients with different degrees of asymptomatic hyperuricemia. The investigators' findings may support the extension of the spectrum of urate disease, and define a subset of patients that may benefit from early urate-lowering therapy.
