Abstract:
Saliva, like blood, urine, and other body fluids, contains extremely rich substances, among which salivary uric acid has a good correlation with serum uric acid, and could replace serum uric acid to a certain extent. In recent years, it has been found that salivary uric acid has a unique clinical value that serum uric acid does not have, and it is related to the occurrence and development of adolescent hypertension, adolescent body fat accumulation and preeclampsia, etc., so it is speculated that salivary uric acid has a certain application prospect. The aim of this review is to provide an update on the research of salivary uric acid and its future prospect.
