Analysis of intestinal flora in patients with hyperuricemia in Qindao District / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the variations of intestinal flora of common carp in patients with hyperuricemia in Qingdao District.Methods The fecal flora was analyzed by gradient dilution method.The levels of uric acid in blood and feces were detected by enzyme colorimetry method and phosphortungstic acid method,respectively.Results E.coli (7.58 ± 0.34,P ＜ 0.05),the total count of aerobian (7.76 ± 0.67,P ＜ 0.05),and bacteroides (2.75 ± 0.31,P ＜ 0.05) were significantly increased in hyperuricemia patients compared to controls.Bifidobacterium (5.38 ± 0.34,P ＜ 0.05) and lactobacillus (2.69 ± 1.48,P ＜ 0.05) were sig-nificantly decreased compared to controls.Concentrations of uric acid in blood and feces were both significantly higher in the patients relative to healthy controls.Decomposition capability was similar to healthy controls.Decomposition capability of uric acid revealed a close correlation with bifidobacterium and lactobacillus,respectively (r =0.565,0.328,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Intestinal dysbacteriosis was found by the analysis of fecal flora in patient with hyperuricemia in Qingdao district.Dysbacteriosis might participate in the process of hyperuricemia onset.
