Taking a low - dose aspirin or increased skin cell turnover also can cause high
serum uric acid levels.
Your health care provider will want to examine fluid drawn from the affected joint for elevated
serum uric acid levels, which would indicate gout.
However, people with psoriatic arthritis can have elevated
serum uric acid levels, too, and not have gout.
Serum uric acid levels in normal pregnancy with observations on the renal excretion of urate in pregnancy.
For both loci the effect on risk of gout is significantly higher among men than women, but the effect on
serum uric acid levels is the same in both sexes.
Reykjavik, ICELAND, 9 October 2011 — Scientists at deCODE Genetics and academic collaborators from Iceland, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and the USA today report the discovery of low frequency variants in the human genome that associate with risk of gout, a common inflammatory arthritis, and
serum uric acid levels.
The researchers observed a sequence variant in a previously unidentified gout susceptibility gene located on chromosome 19 that has a large effect on
serum uric acid levels and gout.
Identification of low - frequency variants associated with gout and
serum uric acid levels.
These findings from a nationally representative sample of US adults suggest that coffee consumption is associated with lower
serum uric acid level and hyperuricemia frequency, but tea consumption is not.
