Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect and influencing factors of alkalized urine in patients with gout, thus providing the basis for the clinical treatmeat.Methods:A total of 90 cases of gout patients in remission without alkalization of urine and lowering uric acid treatment were selected from January 2019 to June 2019. All patients were given a low purine diet (purine intake<200 mg/d). 90 patients were randomly divided into different drugs of alkalized urine groups according to rardom number table: sodium bicarbonate group, taking potassium sodium hydrogen citrate 1.0 g tid; the citrate granule group, taking potassium sodium hydrogen citrate 2.5 g tid; and control group, taking low purine diet only. On the 5th day of treatment, fasting urine in the morning was retained, breakfast was prescribed, and alkalized urine drugs were taken after the meal. Their urine pH was determined at 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 4 h after the medicine taken, and copmare the changes of urine pH in different groups. Taking urine pH 6.2 as cut-off point, patients receiving alkalized urine drugs were divided into the standard group (urine pH≥6.2) and the non-standard group (urine pH<6.2) according to their mean urine pH at 2 h, 3 h, and 4 h after taking medicine. Finally, the influencing factors of urine pH were compared between the groups.Results:There were no significant differences in fasting urine pH between the sodium bicarbonate group and the control group, but the urine pH of 2 h and 3 h after sodium bicarbonate taken were significantly higher than the control group ( P<0.05). The urine pH of the citrate granule group was higher than the control group and the sodium bicarbonate group on fasting and at any time after taking drugs ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). The peak pH value of urine in the sodium bicarbonate and citrate granule groups was 4 h after taking drugs, followed by 2 h and 3 h. There were statistically significant differences in body mass index, waist circumference, and blood pressure between the standard and non-standard groups ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:Fasting urine pH alone can not be used as an index for the efficacy of alkalized urine, it is recommended to refer to the pH value of 2-4 h after taking drugs. The efficacy of potassium sodium hydrogen citrate was better than that of sodium bicarbonate. Obesity or overweight seems to be an adverse factor affecting the alkalized urine.
