Abstract:Background: Scientific societies disagree on serum uric acid (SUA) thresholds for the diagnosis of hyperuricaemia (HU) according to epidemiological or physiochemical criteria (SUA ≥ 7.0 mg/dL for men and ≥6.0 mg/dL for women [HU-7/6]; SUA ≥ 7.0 mg/dL for both genders [HU-7/7], respectively). HU is not included among the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome or cardiovascular-renal-metabolic syndrome (CKM), although it promotes atherosclerosis and is associated with renal and cardiometabolic diseases.
