Article Synopsis
- A study examined the relationship between serum uric acid (UA) levels and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, finding that 15% of patients had high UA levels.
- The research included 1,054 RA patients from the Kuwait Registry, revealing that those with higher UA levels had a lower disease activity score (DAS28) and similar health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) scores regardless of drug treatment.
- The findings suggest a complex link where higher UA is associated with reduced RA activity, indicating the need for further investigation into this relationship.
