Title: Relationship between levels of plasma homocysteine and serum uric acid and progression of acute coronary syndrome
Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between the levels of plasma homocysteine(Hcy) and serum uric acid(UA)and acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods From 88 subjects and 30 healthy controls,plasma Hcy and serum UA were assayed.The subjects were divided into two groups, ACS group(58 cases including,AMI 30 cases and UAP 28 cases)and SAP group(30 cases),and 30 healthy persons as controls.Results The levels of Hcy and UA in ACS group were significantly higher than those in SAP group(P0.05)and control group(P0.05),and within ACS group both levels of AMI subgroup were higher than those of SAP subgroup(P0.05).Conclusion The levels of plasma Hcy and serum UA are closely associated with ACS progression,and the increased Hcy and UA may be important risk factors for ACS.
