Uric acid and related disorders in the risk of pancreatic diseases: A UK Biobank prospective study
Background
Pancreatic diseases, such as acute pancreatitis (AP), chronic pancreatitis (CP), and pancreatic cancer (PC) present major clinical challenges with significant health impacts. Serum uric acid (SUA), resulting from purine metabolism, is a significant biomarker reflecting metabolic health. Defined as SUA >7.0 mg/dL, hyperuricemia (HUA) is associated with gout, renal dysfunction, and increased cardiometabolic risk. SUA triggers inflammation and oxidative stress, contributing to pancreatic damage and cancer pathogenesis. This study represents the first European cohort linking uric acid (UA) disorders to pancreatic disease risk.
Method
This prospective cohort study analyzed 363,778 UK Biobank participants over a median follow-up of 14.2 years, identifying 1951 AP, 474 CP, and 2107 PC cases. We analyzed the association between UA disorders and pancreatitis risk using Cox regression, reporting hazard ratios (HR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI). Cox models evaluated SUA disorders' links to pancreatic diseases (AP, CP, PC), with full adjustment. Both categorical and continuous variables were employed in the Cox analysis, while categorical variables were utilized for the Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves.
Result
For each 1 mg/dL increase in SUA, the risk of AP was significantly increased: HR = 1.062 (95 % CI: 1.020–1.105; P = 0.0036) in the overall population; HR = 1.164 (95 % CI: 1.019–1.330; P = 0.0254) in individuals with HUA; and HR = 1.478 (95 % CI: 1.361–2.913; P = 0.0005) in individuals with gout. Findings were robust in subgroup analyses and after excluding pancreatic disease cases within 2 years of HUA and gout diagnosis.
Conclusion
Our study clarifies the role of SUA in pancreatic health and identifies that individuals with HUA or gout may benefit from pancreatic disease screening.
期刊介绍:
Pancreatology is the official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP), the European Pancreatic Club (EPC) and several national societies and study groups around the world. Dedicated to the understanding and treatment of exocrine as well as endocrine pancreatic disease, this multidisciplinary periodical publishes original basic, translational and clinical pancreatic research from a range of fields including gastroenterology, oncology, surgery, pharmacology, cellular and molecular biology as well as endocrinology, immunology and epidemiology. Readers can expect to gain new insights into pancreatic physiology and into the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapeutic approaches and prognosis of pancreatic diseases. The journal features original articles, case reports, consensus guidelines and topical, cutting edge reviews, thus representing a source of valuable, novel information for clinical and basic researchers alike.
