Abstract:Objective To analyze the relationships between oxidative stress indexes and inflammatory indexes in young patients with primary hyperuricemia. Methods Asymptomatic young patients (64 cases) with primary hyperuricemia found during physical examination were selected as hyperuricemic group, 60 healthy persons were selected as control group. The levels of serum MDA, IL-6 and TNF-α and SOD activity were detected, and statistic analyses were carrid out. Results The levels of MDA, IL -6 and TNF -α in the hyperuricemic group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05), and the SOD activity was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The level of serum uric acid was positively correlated with MDA, IL-6 and TNF-α(p < 0.05), but negatively correlated with SOD (p < 0.05). The serum MDA level was positively correlated with IL-6 and TNF-α(p < 0.05). The SOD activity was negatively correlated with IL-6 and TNF-α( p< 0.05). Serum uric acid, MDA and SOD were the influencing factors of IL-6 and TNF-α(p < 0.05). Conclusions There are oxidative stress and micro-inflammatory state in young patients with hyperuricemia, and the inflammatory response may be related to the oxidative stress response induced by hyperuricemia.
