Statistical study of the relationship between hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes in rural population of Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria

Aim : The main objective of our work was to assess the relationship between type 2 diabetes, hyperuricemia and dyslipidemia in the population of Tizi-Ouzou. By evaluating the relationship between hyperuricemia and some blood lipid parameters, we thus establish, in type 2 diabetes, the correlation between uremia and these lipid parameters. Subjects and methods: The survey was carried out by means of an individual questionnaire. We excluded from our study pregnant women, patients with cancer, patients with end-stage renal disease and subjects who did not respond to the questionnaire. Results: Serum uric acid level increased with age (p = 0.025). Hyperuricemia was associated with heart disease (p = 0.0007). All patients with gout presented an elevated serum uric acid (p = 0.000001). Dyslipidemia was more common in patients with elevated serum uric acid levels (p = 0.0008). Triglyceridemia was significantly associated with hyperuricemia (p = 0.025). The relationship between type 2 diabetes and glomerular filtration rate was not significant, while the latter was decreased in patients with elevated serum uric acid levels (p = 0.0001). In, stratified analysis, age was effect modifier, the age-dependent results make us understand that resistance to insulin constitutes a significant factor of hyperuricemia. Conclusion: The association between hyperuricemia and dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetes emphasizes that insulin resistance acts on both lipid parameters and uricemia. A diet correcting dyslipidemia may also correct the uricemia

Hyperuricémie chez les diabétiques de type 2 à Cotonou: prévalence et facteurs associés

Introduction : Le diabète de type 2 s'inscrit le plus souvent dans le syndrome métabolique qui est fréquemment associé à l'hyperuricémie. Objectif : Déterminer la prévalence et les facteurs de risque de l'hyperuricémie chez les diabétiques de type 2 à Cotonou.Méthodes : Il s'agit d'une étude transversale, descriptive et analytique qui a consisté à analyser les dossiers des patients diabétiques de type 2 suivis à la Banque d'insuline d'Akpakpa à Cotonou. Cette étude s'est déroulée sur 5 mois (de Mai à Octobre 2014).Résultats : Notre population d'étude est constituée de 157 patients diabétiques de type 2. L'âge moyen de cette population d'étude était de 54,46 ans ± 10,61 avec des extrêmes de 31 et 82 ans. Les femmes étaient majoritaires (55,4%) soit une sex-ratio de 0,80. L'obésité était retrouvée chez 37,6%, 36,3% avaient un surpoids et 26,1% avaient un indice de masse corporelle (IMC) normal. Sur les 157 patients de notre étude, 45 avaient une hyperuricémie soit une prévalence de 28,7%. L'âge (p=0,029) et l'obésité (p=0,004) ont été identifiés comme facteurs de risque de l'hyperuricémie chez nos patients diabétiques. Concernant les complications du diabète, c'est la néphropathie qui est bien corrélée avec la présence de l'hyperuricémie (p=0,026), la prévalence de la néphropathie étant de 32,3% chez les diabétiques ayant une hyperuricémie contre 12,5% chez les diabétiques n'en ayant pas.Conclusion : Le dosage de l'uricémie doit être systématique chez les diabétiques

Hyperuricemia in predialysis chronic kidney disease patients in Southern Nigeria

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of hospitalization and death in chronic kidney disease(CKD) patients. Hyperuricemia has emerged as one of the nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors. Studies have shown that hyperuricemia plays a major role in the development of CVD and rapid progression of CKD to end-stage renal disease. Objective: The aim was to determine the prevalence and pattern of hyperuricemia in predialysis CKD patients attending a teaching hospital in Southern Nigeria. Methodology: One hundred and twenty consecutive predialysis CKD patients and 40 control subjects with normal renal function were recruited over 2 years. Data obtained from participants included demographics, body mass index, blood pressure reading, and etiology of CKD. Blood sampling was done for the determination of serum uric acid, creatinine, and fasting serum lipids. P < 0.05 were taken as significant. Results: The mean age of the CKD subjects was 48.8 ± 16.6 years with a male:female ratio of 1.7:1. The prevalence of hyperuricemia in the CKD subjects was 47.5% and this was significantly higher than 15% observed in the control group (P ≤ 0.001). The prevalence of hyperuricemia was highest in CKD stage 3b. Hyperuricemia was more prevalent in younger predialysis CKD subjects and those with hypertensive nephropathy. There was no significant association between hyperuricemia, obesity, gender and dyslipidemia in this study. Conclusion: Hyperuricemia is highly prevalent in young predialysis CKD patients even in the early stages. Measures to reduce hyperuricemia should be put in place especially lifestyle and dietary modification
