Another problem is the type of studies that have been used to address the question of uric acid's role in CHD.
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.
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.
Identified relationships included: ghrelin with high-density lipoprotein (HDL), alcohol intake, and creatinine; leptin with diastolic blood pressure, smoking, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN); adiponectin with HDL, triglycerides, uric acid, and BUN; insulin with HDL, triglycerides, uric acid, and smoking; glucose with HDL, triglycerides, uric acid, alcohol intake, BUN, and creatinine; QUICKI with HDL, triglycerides, uric acid, smoking, and BUN.
Since then, measurement of serum uric acid has been suggested as a predictor of CHD.
