摘要：Background. According to the latest recommendation for patients with hyperuricemia and high cardiovascular risk, the serum uric acid (SUA) concentration should be lower than 5 mg/dL (<298 μmol/L). Additionally, studies have shown that SUA concentration in participants with hyperuricemia correlates with some dietary factors. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between SUA concentration and some cardiovascular risk factors. Material and methods. Fifty-six postmenopausal women with dyslipidemia and without hypertension were assigned to 2 groups based on SUA concentration. The first group consisted of women with a SUA concentration ≥5 mg/dL and without gout, and the second group comprised women with a SUA concentration <5 mg/dL. Anthropometric parameters, nutrition, structure of consumption, dietary potential renal acid load (PRAL), lipid profile parameters and blood pressure were evaluated. Results. Postmenopausal women with a SUA ≥5 mg/dL had statistically significant higher values of serum triglyceride (TG) concentration, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and diastolic blood pressure than women with a SUA concentration <5 mg/dL. Analysis of nutrition showed statistically significant differences between the groups in the intake of starch, saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol and vitamin E. Additionally, we observed a correlation between PRAL value and SUA. The structure of consumption between the groups was varied. Conclusion. SUA concentration ≥5 mg/dL may increase the cardiovascular risk. The association observed between PRAL and SUA can be used to evaluate diet.
