Abstract

Serum uric acid is associated with cardiovascular disease. However, the independent role of uric acid in the development of cardiovascular disease is uncertain. This study examined the cross-sectional association of serum uric acid level with microalbuminuria among 6771 subjects without diabetes or hypertension. Blood pressure was categorized as prehypertension (systolic blood pressure, 120 to 140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure, 80 to 90 mm Hg) and normotension (systolic blood pressure, <120 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure, <80 mm Hg). Microalbuminuria was found in 4.0% of normotensive subjects (n=4819) and in 7.9% of prehypertensive subjects (n=1952). Prehypertensive subjects with microalbuminuria had higher uric acid level than those with normoalbuminuria (men, 387 [68] mmol/L versus 371 [69] mmol/L; P=0.017; women 286 [56] mmol/L versus 262 [54] mmol/L; P=0.006). However, the difference in serum uric acid level according to the presence or absence of microalbuminuria was not found in the normotensive group. Multiple logistic regression models showed that, in the prehypertensive group, after adjustment for other cardiovascular risk factors, the highest uric acid quartile entailed >2 times greater risk for microalbuminur...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
