In addition to an increased risk of hyperuricemia and gout, excess uric acid is also related to cardiovascular disorders, nephrolithiasis, diabetes [ 7, 23- 32].
Similar to dietary factors, an association between gout and excess alcohol consumption has long been recognised.
Caused by an excess buildup of uric acid, gout's symptoms may vary significantly from patient to patient, including development of chronic gout instead of isolated episodes.
The magnitude of excess mortality risk associated with gout was not modified by the presence or absence of heart failure table 4. Our analysis of data collected on FOS participants indicates that gout is an independent risk factor for subclinical myocardial dysfunction, incident heart failure and mortality after incidence of heart failure.
The predisposing factors such as alcohol consumption, diuretics use, and excess weight gain increase risks of gout attack among patients with hyperuricemia [ 16].
Leptin and SUA were strongly associated in healthy and T2DM subjects[102], in patients presenting with MetsS, central obesity, and insulin resistance[109, 110], and indeed in a Japanese cohort of patients with gout, gout was associated with excess MetS compared to normal controls and was strongly associated with elevated leptin and SUA[111].
Our systematic review builds on the previously published work by conducting the first meta-analysis determining the excess risk of cardiovascular mortality associated with gout.
Gout was associated with an excess risk of CVD mortality (unadjusted HR 1.51 (95% confidence interval, CI, 1.17 1.84)) and CHD mortality (unadjusted HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.25 1.94)).
After adjustment for vascular risk factors, none of the studies report a statistically significant excess risk of mortality from MI in gout patients of either gender.
