BackgroundThe association between elevated serum uric acid (UA) levels and the risk of developing colonic diverticulosis has not yet been investigated. Thus, this cross-sectional study aimed to examine this correlation in individuals from Taiwan.MethodsFrom Jan. 1, 2010, to Dec. 31, 2016., approximately 5,605 patients (aged >20 years) from Tri-Service General Hospital who met the inclusion criteria according to colonoscopy and laboratory test findings were included in this research. The correlation between serum UA levels and colonic diverticulosis was investigated via regression analyses.ResultsParticipants with elevated serum UA levels were at a higher risk of colonic diverticulosis. The area under the curve for serum UA levels was significantly higher in women than in men (0.651 [95% confidence interval: 0.596-0.707] vs. 0.55 [0.507-0.593]). There were specific trends in female-specific indicators for colonic diverticulosis across increasing quartiles of serum UA levels.ConclusionsPatients with elevated serum UA levels should be cautious regarding the development of colonic diverticulosis disorder in female. Moreover, prospective studies may provide additional information on the relationship between elevated serum UA levels and colonic diverticulosis. |
