Dependence of Serum-Uric-Acid on Hæmoglobin and Other Factors in the General Population

Relation of serum uric acid to body bulk, haemoglobin, and alcohol intake in two South Pacific Polynesian populations.

“…Although the relationship had been noted earlier in patients with cardiac and respiratory disease (Lewis and Gardner, 1960), Acheson and O'Brien (1966) were the first to report a correlation between SUA and haemoglobin levels in a general population. It was more prominent in men than in women.…”

“…A positive relationship between SUA and body bulk has been reported in European and South Pacific Polynesian groups (Acheson and O'Brien, 1966;Dunn, Brooks, Mausner, Rodnan, and Cobb, 1963;Mikkelsen, 1965;Prior and others, 1964), and there is evidence of a similar relationship in other peoples (Burch, O'Brien, Need, and Kurland, 1966;O'Brien, Burch, and Bunim, 1966). The mechanism of the relationship is still obscure, and the measure of body bulk giving the best prediction of SUA varies from study to study.…”

“…O'Brien and others (1966), studying Blackfeet and Pima Indians, found that body surface area gave the best correlation. Acheson and O'Brien (1966), in their Connecticut population, found a better relationship with weight in women and with ponderal index in men. In Tecumseh, the correlation of SUA was slightly better with observed weight in women and relative weight in men (Mikkelsen, 1965).…”

The impact of serum uric acid on cardiovascular outcomes in the LIFE study

“…Whether uric acid has similar nephrotoxic and hypertension-promoting effects in humans deserves further investigation. SUA has long been known to be associated with hemoglobin levels [49], and hyperuricemia is common in patients with polycythemia. The relationship may be explained by increased red cell degradation in subjects with increased red cell mass.…”
