A hypothetical illustration of the differences in uric acid levels between blood, saliva and GCF in periodontitis populations. Saliva and GCF purine levels are found to be elevated in hosts with periodontitis. However, uric acid levels of decrease rather than increase, which may be due to an enh...
If the test results show that levels of uric acid are higher than usual, this means there is a problem with the breakdown of purines. The doctor will usually order further tests to determine whether the body is producing too much uric acid or there is a problem with kidney function. ...

The main exposure of interest was serum uric acid levels (SUA). Venous blood samples were collected in the morning after an overnight fast. In the KNHANES, SUA was measured by means of a Hitachi automatic analyzer 7600-210 using a colorimetric enzymatic method. SUA levels were then divided ...
High levels of uric acid in midlife may significantly raise the risk for a serious type of irregular heartbeat in the decades that follow, even in people without traditional risk factors, new research shows.
The data were described as case numbers with weighted percentages (%), and means with standard errors (SE). The association between OA and the serum uric acid level was statistically analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods. A total of 669 subjects (8.6%) had OA, ...
