Ceramide-based risk score: A novel laboratory tool for cardiovascular risk stratification in hyperuricemia and gout
Gout and hyperuricemia increase cardiovascular disease risk, highlighting the need for improved risk stratification. In this pilot study, we evaluated the Coronary Event Risk Test (CERT) in 94 hyperuricemic and 196 gout patients, and 53 controls. Plasma ceramides were determined by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Elevated CERT scores (≥7) occurred in 11.7 % (2-fold increase) of hyperuricemic and 31.12 % (5.5-fold increase) of gout patients compared to controls. Additionally, both hyperuricemic and gout patients with increased CERT also exhibited higher levels of inflammation and atherogenic index of plasma, both of which were significantly associated with CERT. Incorporating CERT into routine care may enhance risk stratification and guide targeted interventions in this patient population.
