Abstract. Both hyperuricemia (HU) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have an adverse influence at cardiovascular, metabolic diseases, and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The aim: to study the incidence of comorbid diseases, their clinical course, characteristics, and efficacy of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) in case of PsA and HU combination.
Material and methods. Retrospective data of patients with PsA and HU (n = 130) and PsA without HU (n = 131) were studied. HU was considered as an increase in serum uric acid (UA) ≥ 360 μmol/L in the absence of gouty arthritis.
Results. PsA patients with and without HU were comparable in age, gender, disease activity, and immunogenetic characteristics. In the group of patients with PsA and HU, comparatively to PsA without HU, arterial hypertension (68.46 and 40.46%, respectively), hypercholesterolemia (53.08 and 27.48%), obesity (25.38 and 6.87%), prediabetes (21.54 and 12.21%), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2) (29.23 and 12.21%), CKD (51.54 and 29.77%) were more common, in addition, the first group had a higher creatinine level (87.79 ± 19.26 and 77.86 ± 11.42 μmol/l); p < 0.05 for all parameters. Non-medicamentous ULT was effective in 30.36% of patients, medicamentous ULT – in 23.07%. These data can be explained by the fact that examined patients did not comply with the ULT dosing regimen and they stopped such therapy on their own. The efficacy of ULT did not depend on PsA activity: 81.25% of patients with moderate and 55.26% with high disease activity did not achieve the target UA level (p = 0.01).
Conclusion. HU leads to an increase in the incidence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, prediabetes, DM 2, and CKD in patients having PsA. The efficacy of non-medicamentous and medicamentous-based ULT in such patients is comparable in terms of target UA indicators achieving. It is advisable to continue studying the correlation between PsA activity and the efficacy of ULT.
