Uric Acid Level Should Be Stratified in Order to Better Evaluate Inflammatory Status

摘要

We read the article 'Predictive value of serum uric acid levels on mortality in acute coronary syndrome patients with chronic kidney disease after drug-eluting stent implantation' written by Yin et al. [1] with great interest. They aimed to assess the predictive value of uric acid (UA) levels on mortality in acute coronary syndrome patients with chronic kidney disease after drug-eluting stent implantation. They concluded that SUA levels are high in Chinese acute coronary syndrome patients with chronic kidney disease. Even though they are treated using drug-eluting stent implantation, higher UA levels are associated with all-cause mortality during follow-up, consisting mainly of cerebral and other-cause mortality rather than cardiac and renal mortality.
