Determinants of hyperuricemia in non-dialysed chronic kidney disease patients in three hospitals in Cameroon

Abstract: BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a substantial health burden in sub-Saharan Africa, with risk factors ranging from communicable to non-communicable diseases. Hyperuricemia has been recently identified as a factor of progression of CKD. Identifying factors associated with hyperuricemia in CKD patients would help determine interventions to reduce CKD mortality, particularly in resources limited countries. We sought to determine the prevalence and factors associated with hyperuricemia in non-dialysed … Show more

“…IR can also promote HUA because hyperinsulinemia reduces the activity of 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, a key glycolytic enzyme, which leads to the conversion of glycolytic intermediates to 5-phosphate ribose and phosphoribose pyrophosphate, thereby promoting UA generation. In addition, IR promotes the accumulation of liver fat, which impairs purine metabolism, leading to the production of UA ( 27 , 28 ). These data linking HUA to IR suggest that SUA may be an independent predictor of HUA.…”

“…Additionally, hyperuricemia was identi ed in non-dialyzed CKD patients followed in referral centers and as a factor of progression of CKD [47]. Bruggeman et al [58] discussed the mechanism of viral replication in CKD patients, implying viral infections as a comorbid condition in CKD.…”

“…Cardiovascular diseases were twice more common among CKD patients compared to the general population and advances at twice the rate [ 56 ]. Additionally, hyperuricemia was identified in non-dialyzed CKD patients followed in referral centers and as a factor of progression of CKD [ 47 ].…”
