Serum uric acid is related to liver and kidney disease and 12-year mortality risk after myocardial infarction

ObjectiveTo study the associations of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with post–myocardial infarction (MI) patients, and the relationship of SUA with 12-year mortality risk.MethodsWe included 3,396 patients (60–80 years...

description ObjectiveTo study the associations of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with post–myocardial infarction (MI) patients, and the relationship of SUA with 12-year mortality risk.MethodsWe included 3,396 patients (60–80 years old, 78% men) of the Alpha Omega Cohort. Multivariable prevalence ratios (PRs) were obtained for the association of NAFLD [fatty liver index (FLI), ≥77 (women) and ≥79 (men)] with CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2]. We calculated sensitivity and specificity of SUA to detect the (combined) presence and absence of NAFLD and CKD. Cause-specific mortality was monitored from enrolment (2002–2006) through December 2018. Hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in SUA categories were obtained from multivariable Cox models.ResultsMedian baseline FLI was 67 (men, 68; women, 64), and mean ± SD eGFR was 81 ± 20 mL/min per 1.73 m2 (17% with CKD). Sex-specific FLI was associated with higher CKD prevalence (PRtertile3 vs. tertile1, 1.94; 95% confidence interval: 1.57, 2.39). Baseline SUA was 0.36 ± 0.09 mmol/L. With increasing SUA concentrations, specificity for the presence of NAFLD, CKD, or both increased, and sensitivity decreased. During 12 (interquartile range, 9–14) years of follow-up, 1,592 patients died (713 from CVD). HRs ranged from 1.08 (0.88, 1.32) for SUA ≤0.25 mmol/L to 2.13 (1.75, 2.60) for SUA >0.50 mmol/L vs. SUA >0.30–0.35 mmol/L for all-cause mortality. For CVD mortality, HRs ranged from 1.05 (0.77, 1.44) to 2.43 (1.83, 3.25).ConclusionsNAFLD and CKD were strongly associated, which was reflected by higher SUA concentrations. SUA was a strong predictor of 12-year mortality risk after MI.
