What this paper does not do is directly address the question of whether or not serum uric acid is involved in causing CHD through intermediates; however, it does suggest that serum uric acid levels are unlikely to be a major determinant of CHD.
Dissecting out the role of uric acid is further complicated by three things: high levels of uric acid are associated with hypertension and being overweight (other risk factors for CHD); levels of uric acid can be altered by drugs such as diuretics that people with CHD often take; and finally, alteration of renal function can affect uric acid levels.
In this month's PLoS Medicine , John Danesh and colleagues from the University of Cambridge, along with investigators from the Icelandic Heart Association, report the single largest prospective study addressing the role of uric acid in heart disease.
But many of the studies on serum uric acid are epidemiologic studies—somewhere in the middle of the hierarchy of evidence—and have come to different conclusions about how useful measurement of uric acid is.
Retrospective studies may be unable to control adequately for other risk factors—hence prospective, ideally population-based, studies would be the best to answer the question of whether there really is an association between high uric acid and CHD.
