Objective To study the risk factors of hyperuricemia in patients with mild coronary artery stenosis. Methods The clinical data of 267 patients, who underwent coronary angiography, were collected and classified into the hyperuricemia group (58.5±8.0 years) and the normal control group (57.3±9.9 years). The coronary artery diameter stenosis of all the patients was lower than 50%. Results Elevated levels of body mass index (BMI), serum creatinine, triglyceride, low level of high-density lipoprotein, and history of hypertension or diabetes mellitus were significantly correlated with increased prevalence of hyperuricemia in patients with mild coronary artery stenosis. Multivariate logistic regression models found that the risk factors were diabetes mellitus (OR=1.999, 95%CI 1.087 to 3.678) , BMI (OR=1.110, 95%CI 1.009 to 1.221), hypertriglyceridemia (OR=1.237, 95%CI 1.023 to 1.496), and serum creatinine (OR=1.026, 95%CI 1.008 to 1.045). Conclusion Diabetes mellitus, BMI, hypertriglyceridemia and serum creatinine are independent risk factors of hyperuricemia in patients with mild coronary artery stenosis.
