摘要:
据估计中国成年人的高尿酸血症患病率已达14.0%。血尿酸升高除引起痛风性关节炎之外,还和高血压、糖尿病、心血管疾病和慢性肾病等多种疾病密切相关。虽然对症状性高尿酸血症(痛风、尿酸性肾病和肾结石)患者给予降尿酸治疗已达成共识,但无症状高尿酸血症是否推荐药物治疗一直存在争议,也是临床与基础研究持续关注的热点。文章就是否推荐药物干预无症状高尿酸血症的循证医学证据和相关指南、共识等作一探讨。
Abstract:
It is estimated that the prevalence of hyperuricemia among Chinese adults has reached 14.0%. Elevated serum uric acid not only induces gouty arthritis but is also closely linked to a spectrum of comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. While there is a clear consensus on providing uratelowering therapy (ULT) for symptomatic hyperuricemia (e.g., gout, uric acid nephropathy and kidney stones), whether to recommend pharmacological treatment for asymptomatic hyperuricemia remains controversial and constitutes a key focus of ongoing clinical and translational research. This article reviews the available evidence, relevant clinical guidelines and expert consensuses regarding the indication of pharmacological intervention for asymptomatic hyperuricemia.
