High Level of Serum Uric Acid induced Monocyte Inflammation is Related to Coronary Calcium Deposition in the Middle-Aged and Elder Population of China: A five-year Prospective Cohort Study

Taken together, the findings in this study indicate that high SUA levels (P<0.001) are an independent risk factor for CACS and elevated SUA levels increase the risk of developing coronary calcium deposition among middle-aged and old people in the Chinese population, which may be related to an increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the PBMCs.
