The presence of OH is associated with a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality, which may partially be mediated by classic risk factors. Further research is needed to determine whether the association between OH and mortality risk is causal.
Allopurinol therapy is associated with significantly improved endothelial function in subjects at risk of CVD risks, and the beneficial effects of allopurinol seemed to be more remarkable in patients with normal UA at baseline.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
