Abstract
Purpose of review: To discuss what is currently known about the association and potential mechanistic interactions of hyperuricemia and gout with peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
Recent findings: Gout patients are at increased risk for coronary artery disease, but less is known about their risk for PAD. Studies suggest that the presence of gout and hyperuricemia are associated with PAD independent of known established risk factors. Moreover, higher SU was found to be associated with greater odds of having PAD and was independently associated with decreased absolute claudication distance. Urate's role in free radical formation, platelet aggregation, vascular smooth muscle proliferation, and impaired endothelial vasodilation may promote atherosclerotic progression. Studies suggest that patients with hyperuricemia or gout are at higher risk for developing PAD. Evidence is stronger for the relationship between elevated SU and PAD than for gout and PAD, but more data is needed. Whether elevated SU serves as a marker or cause of PAD remains to be investigated.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in the field of rheumatology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care and prevention of rheumatologic conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas such as the many forms of arthritis, osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also occasionally provided.
