Unlabelled: The prevalence of Hyperuricemia is increasing even in developing countries. Hyperuricemia may be asymptomatic in many cases. It has been known to be associated with metabolic syndrome. In this study we have tried to see the association between serum uric acid levels and the components of metabolic syndrome in a tertiary care centre in South India.
Material: It was a case-control, observational study carried out in the Medicine OPD of Ramaiah Medical College and Hospital. 40 subjects who were found to be having metabolic syndrome as per NCEP-ATP III criteria and 40 age and gender matched controls were enrolled in the study. They were subjected to detailed history taking, clinical examination, investigations like fasting and 2-hour blood glucose levels, fasting lipid profile and serum uric acid levels. Mean serum uric acid levels were assessed in both cases and controls. The association between serum uric acid levels and the components of metabolic syndrome was also studied.
Observation: Mean serum uric acid levels in cases were 7.9 mg/dL in men and 6.8 mg/dL in women. Mean serum uric acid levels in controls were 4.8 mg/dL in men and 3.9 mg/dL in women. This difference was statistically significant (p= 0.001). Among the subjects having metabolic syndrome, 28 subjects (65%) had hyperuricemia. Among the controls 10 subjects (25%) had hyperuricemia.
Conclusion: The above study shows that serum uric acid levels are significantly elevated in patients with metabolic syndrome. The association of elevated levels of uric acid was seen with all the components of metabolic syndrome.

Trials
January 2025
Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, The Eighth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, Shenzhen, 518033, Guangdong, P. R. China.
Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diacylglycerol (DAG) edible oil intervention in patients with chronic metabolic syndrome complicated by asymptomatic hyperuricemia through a multicenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial.
Methods: A multicenter, double-blind, and randomized controlled trial involving 176 patients was designed. All patients with chronic metabolic syndrome complicated by asymptomatic hyperuricemia who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study and will be randomized to either group A or group B.
Serum uric acid levels and intracerebral hemorrhage: a two-sample Mendelian Randomization study.

Objective: Previous observational studies have generated controversy regarding the correlation between serum uric acid (UA) levels and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), with the causal relationship remaining uncertain. To assess the potential causal relationship between serum UA levels and ICH, two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was applied.
Methods: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) closely associated with serum UA were retrieved from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) database, including 580,505 individuals of European descent.
Predicting Mortality and Hospitalization in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction by Using Machine Learning.
JACC Asia
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Linkou, and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Background: Few studies have incorporated echocardiography and laboratory data to predict clinical outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Objectives: This study aimed to use machine learning to find predictors of heart failure (HF) hospitalization and cardiovascular (CV) death in HFpEF.
Methods: From the Chang Gung Research Database in Taiwan, 6,092 HFpEF patients (2,898 derivation, 3,194 validation) identified between 2008 and 2017 were followed until 2019.
Effect of Dietary Magnesium on the Association Between Serum Uric Acid and Female Infertility.
Int J Womens Health

Department of Medical Genetic, Ganzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, 341000, People's Republic of China.
Background: Few studies have evaluated the correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the prevalence of female infertility in the general population, and the effect of magnesium intake on this correlation has not been investigated.
Methods: All participants aged 18-45 years at baseline were enrolled from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2013-2018. The continuous variable of SUA was divided into quartile (Q1: ≤3.
The optimal strategy for improving cardiometabolic factors (CMFs) in young obese individuals through diet and exercise remains unclear, as do the potential mechanisms. We conducted an 8-week randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of different interventions in youth with overweight/obesity. Gut microbes and serum metabolites were examined to identify regulating mechanisms.
