Recent research has provided strong evidence supporting the use of uric acid-related ratios as potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis. Notable ratios among these include uric acid-to-albumin ratio (UAR), uric acid-to-creatinine ratio (UCR), uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (UHR), and uric acid-to-lymphocyte ratio (ULR). The aim of the study is to analyze these biomarkers in bipolar disorder (BD) patients.
5465 BD patients were enrolled in this study and 6629 healthy subjects served as controls. We compared differences of the above ratio indicators among different BD diagnostic groups and analyzed factors leading to the onset of BD.
BD-M (manic episodes of BD) group had higher ULR, UHR, UCR, UAR than HC (Heathy Controls) and BD-D (depressive episodes of BD) groups, while BD-D group showed lower ULR and UCR than HC group. P-BD-M (BD-M with psychotic symptoms) group displayed higher ULR, UHR, UCR, UAR than HC group, while even higher ULR, UHR, UAR than NP-BD-M (BD-M without psychotic symptoms) group. High UAR was risk factor in BD-M.
Our study suggests BD-M has more intense inflammatory response than BD-D. Furthermore, there is heterogeneity in the pathogenesis of psychotic symptoms between BD-M and BD-D. Additionally, High UAR was risk factor in BD-M.
最近的研究提供了强有力的证据支持尿酸相关比值作为疾病诊断的潜在生物标志物。这些比值中值得注意的包括尿酸与白蛋白比值(UAR)、尿酸与肌酐比值(UCR)、尿酸与高密度脂蛋白比值(UHR)和尿酸与淋巴细胞比值(ULR)。本研究旨在分析双相障碍(BD)患者的这些生物标志物。
本研究纳入了 5465 例 BD 患者和 6629 例健康对照者。我们比较了不同 BD 诊断组之间上述比值指标的差异,并分析了导致 BD 发病的因素。
BD-M(BD 的躁狂发作)组的 ULR、UHR、UCR、UAR 均高于 HC(健康对照者)和 BD-D(BD 的抑郁发作)组,而 BD-D 组的 ULR 和 UCR 均低于 HC 组。P-BD-M(有精神病症状的 BD-M)组的 ULR、UHR、UCR、UAR 均高于 HC 组,而 ULR、UHR、UAR 均高于 NP-BD-M(无精神病症状的 BD-M)组。高 UAR 是 BD-M 的危险因素。
本研究表明 BD-M 比 BD-D 具有更强的炎症反应。此外,BD-M 和 BD-D 之间精神病症状的发病机制存在异质性。此外,高 UAR 是 BD-M 的危险因素。
