ABSTRACT
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease caused by a variety of causes. Is uric acid associated with the onset of AP? The objective of this study was to assess whether uric acid concentration in AP patients was higher than that in healthy population, and whether there were associations between uric acid concentration and serological indicators related to AP. A total of 205 AP patients were included in this study. Two hundred and five people who underwent physical examination in our hospital were randomly selected as controls. We analyzed whether there was difference in uric acid concentrations between the two groups. If the difference was statistically significant, the correlations between uric acid concentration and serological indicators in AP patients was further analyzed. There was significant difference in uric acid concentration (P < 0.001) between AP patients and healthy population. Serum uric acid concentration in AP group was significantly higher than that in control group. Two hundred and five AP patients were divided into mild AP group and non-mild AP group. There was no statistically significant difference in uric acid concentration between the two groups (P = 0.176). There was a low linear correlation between serum uric acid concentration and triglyceride level (r = 0.316, P < 0.001). But there was no linear correlation between serum uric acid concentration and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (r = 0.126, P = 0.072), white blood cell (r = 0.192, P = 0.006), albumin (r = 0.183, P = 0.009), total cholesterol concentration (r = 0.133, P = 0.058), fasting blood-glucose (r = 0.133, P = 0.058) and blood calcium (r = 0.155, P = 0.026). Uric acid concentration in patients with AP was significantly higher than healthy population. There was correlation between uric acid concentration and triglyceride in AP patients.
