Objective To explore the clinical features and risk factors of primary gout in Xinjiang area.Methods A total of 364 patients with gout and 546 healthy crowd were divided into two groups.A unified questionnaire was used to investigate and detect relevant biochemical indicators.Related biochemical indexes were examined and analyzed.Logistic regression model was established to analyze the risk factors related to gout.Results The mean age of onset of gout was 42.95±11.93.More than two joints were involved in56.32％ of patients with gout.BMI, SUA, GLU, BUN, CREA, TG, TC, LDL-C of gout group were significantly higher than those of control group (P＜0.01), while HDL-C was significantly lower than that of control group (P＜0.01).The advanced age, high uric acid hematic disease, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, smoking, drinking, family history of gout, BMI, high TG levels, and high creatinine hematic disease, high blood LDL-C may be risk factors for gout occurence (OR=3.767, 103.482, 3.621, 2.934, 3.140, 3.482, 4.198, 1.102, 1.498, 1.102, 1.498), while aerobic exercise regularly (three times or more a week) is the protection factor gout occurs.Conclusion The average age of patients with gout in Xinjiang is lower than the national level.The distribution of the degree of culture of patients with gout in Xinjiang may have no obvious rule, and the population with medium and low degree of culture is the main affected population.More than half of patients with gout are now involved in more than two joints.The most common associated with gout is hypertension.Beer/liquor and high-fat diet are the most common dietary factors for patients with gout in Xinjiang.The advanced age, hyperuricemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, smoking, drinking, hypercreatinine, BMI, high-TG, high LDL-C and family history of gout may all increase the risk of gout, while aerobic regular exercise (more than 3 times per week) may reduce the risk of gout.

Objective: To study the relationship between atherogenic index of plasma (AIP)and renal impairment in male patients with gout. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 821 male subjects was conducted to measure the relevant biochemical indicators and to calculate the AIP, endogenous creatinine-clearance rate (Ccr), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). EpiData 3.1 software was used for data entry, SPSS21.0 was used for statistical analysis, and GraphPad Prism 6.0 software was used for charts. Results: Compared with control group, AIP, serum uric acid, triglyceride in gout group were significantly higher (all P<0.01), while eGFR and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol were significantly lower (both P<0.05). The composition ratio of renal function impairment in gout group was significantly higher (P<0.01). With the increase of AIP level, eGFR level decreased and serum creatinine level increased, but the overall difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05), while Ccr and serum uric acid levels gradually increased (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis after adjusting for various confounding factors showed that AIP, triglyceride, and serum uric acid were risk factors for renal function damage in patients with gout (P<0.05), the relevant risk were 7.030, 1.291, 1.004 respectively. After adjusting confounding factors, the associations between triglyceride, serum uric acid and renal function injury risk changed little, while AIP showed more evident, the OR value increased from 2.629 to 6.265 and 7.030. Conclusions (1)AIP is closely related to the renal function damage of patients with gout. After adjusting various confounding factors, AIP can better reflect the renal function damage than other indicators, which is of great significance to predict the renal function damage of patients with gout. (2)That patients with gout with high uric acid level may suffer from renal atherosclerosis and have a higher risk of renal impairment. (3)Dynamic observation of AIP in gout patients is helpful for early identification of the risk of renal failure in such patients.
