BACKGROUND
Uric acid has been linked to the progression of native kidney disease. Studies evaluating its contribution to allograft function in kidney transplant recipients, among whom hyperuricemia is common, have yielded mixed results.
METHODS
We evaluated the association between baseline uric acid
The content of uric acid was measured in the blood of patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, as well as in the blood, retina, brain, liver and urine of rats with inherited retinal degeneration in the course of postnatal development. It was found that in the patients with retinitis pigmentosa,
CONCLUSIONS
Serum Hcy was higher in MSA patients when compared to healthy subjects, particularly in male patients.Serum UA was lower in MSA patients when compared healthy subjects, particularly in male patients.Serum Hcy levels were significantly positively correlated with the severity of MSA.The
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the foremost cause of blindness among the elderly population in industrialised countries. Currently, there is no effective treatment for the majority of patients. To develop new and effective modes of therapy, understanding of the molecular basis of the
Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple system atrophy (MSA). Uric acid has an antioxidative effect. Our aim is to clarify the correlations between serum uric acid and MSA in Chinese population. A total of 234 patients with probable MSA and 240 age- and gender- matched healthy
BACKGROUND
Recent studies have suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress play a key role in the pathogenesis of multiple system atrophy.
METHODS
We evaluated the influence of serum uric acid levels on disease progression in 52 patients with multiple system atrophy using changes
To investigate the possible association between serum uric acid levels, serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). A total 232 patients of the eye department at Hospital Tuanku Ja'afar, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia were recruited over 9 weeks. Participants were divided
OBJECTIVE
Lower serum uric acid (UA) levels are considered to be related to the risk to develop many neurodegenerative disorders. However, the association between serum UA level and multiple system atrophy (MSA) remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the relationship
The degree of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) is one of the strongest prognostic factors in glomerulonephritis (GN). In experimental models, high serum uric acid (UA) could contribute to IFTA through direct effects on the renal tubules, but the significance of this process has not
OBJECTIVE
Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple system atrophy (MSA) and cognitive impairment. Uric acid has an anti-oxidative effect. Our objective is to clarify the correlations between serum uric acid and cognitive function as well as frontal lobe function in Chinese MSA
OBJECTIVE
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that may be caused in part by oxidative stress. Uric acid (UA) protects neurons in neurodegenerative disorders via antioxidative effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the serum UA
OBJECTIVE
The association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and cognitive function is controversial since UA can be a risk factor for cerebral ischemia as well as acting as a neuroprotective antioxidant.
METHODS
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 228 elderly participants and examined
BACKGROUND
Uric acid has been associated with focal vascular brain disease. However, it is unknown whether uric acid also relates to global brain changes such as brain atrophy. We therefore studied the relation of uric acid to brain atrophy and whether this is accompanied by worse cognitive
OBJECTIVE
To observe blood uric acid levels and Goldstein grading, as well as their correlation in Wilson's disease (WD) patients with different Chinese medical syndrome types.
METHODS
Totally 906 WD patients in line with inclusive criteria were assigned to 6 groups, i.e., the heart spirit confused
BACKGROUND
Many studies have been performed in kidney transplant recipients to test whether hyperuricemia plays a role in decreased kidney function, but the results have been controversial. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to assess the predictors of hyperuricemia and how uric acid (UA)
