liver enzymes and uric acid in acute heart failure

چکیده
conclusions abnormal transaminases and uric acid levels are seen in ahf patients. increased ast levels may be a predictor of the need for inotrope during hospital course in these patients. patients and methods a total of 100 patients (aged 16 - 90 years, 60% men) admitted with ahf were enrolled. lfts and uric acid levels were assessed on first day and before discharge, and patients were followed for 3 months. results in-hospital outcomes were considered. mean left ventricular ejection fraction (lvef) was 35% (20 - 45%). mean uric acid level was 8.4 mg/dl, significantly higher than chronic hf and normal groups (p < 0.02). elevated liver enzymes were seen in 52% patients, mostly (87%) in transaminases. liver enzymes were decreased in 85% patients before discharge. lft and uric acid levels were inversely and significantly correlated with lvef on echocardiography (p = 0.02), but not with diastolic parameters. although there was no significant correlation between uric acid level and in-hospital mortality, risk of intubation and rehospitalization in 3 months, enzyme levels increased in these groups. increased aspartate transaminase (ast level) was associated with inotrope infusion in ahf patients (42 vs. 82 mg/dl, p = 0.03). background acute heart failure (ahf) is defined as the new onset or recurrence of gradual or rapidly worsening signs and symptoms of heart failure, requiring urgent or emergent therapy. objectives this study attempts to assess the association of liver function tests (lft) and uric acid level with in hospital outcome and echocardiography parameters, in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.

متن کاملCould uric acid have a role in acute renal failure?
Acute renal failure (ARF), induced by either toxins or ischemia, is associated with significant morbidity. The pathogenesis of ARF is complex and is characterized by renal vasoconstriction and oxidative stress in association with tubular and microvascular injury and interstitial inflammation. In many situations, ARF is associated with a rise in serum uric acid as a result of both increased gene...
